I think the idea of the Xbox being able to react to what a player is saying during a game is a neat concept, ie. technical fouls in NBA 2K14. But, it should be an optional feature.

Using voice recognition for censorship outside of the game is where the line gets a little fuzzy. Especially if you take into account games like Battlefield 4 where what the player is saying may pale in comparison to the dialogue spoken by in-game characters.

Online portals to game content, whether it be Playroom integration in Twitch or Microsoft's Upload Studio, need to figure out what the "rules" actually are before these things go live.

I play games on easy as well. This is to get through the game without any hassle. With so may games to play, and managing time, this is by far the best way to do it. If I enjoyed the experience, I'll go back and play the game on a higher difficulty level. If I didn't enjoy the game, well, it will just sit not he shelf collecting dust.

I wanted to bring up something about Kinect 2.0, which hasn't really been discussed a lot. I think this device will be good for visually impaired gamers. One case scenario I can think of is the QR codes. Visually impaired gamers have a hard time with the letters Q, O and 0 on the Xbox Live redemption card. Another thing I can think of is, voice commands in games. I know the new Tomb Raider is going to have it - how well this works in practice I have no idea.

I would have posted this on last weeks comments section, but it isn't up yet. When are you going to hire an Umpa Lumpa to do your bidding?

On the* godamn you auto correct on the Mac!

You need an edit button, Sir.

Edit buttons are for wimps.

And this IS last week's comment section. It was posted late.

While I found the story about console sales over Black Friday kind of humorous since the PS4 already hit shelves and sold out 2 weeks earlier, it sounds like both new consoles are flying off shelves just as soon as they're stocked. How long before they surpass Nintendo? The answer is quite a long time because there are about 40 million 3DS consoles out there. ;)

I think it's also worth nothing that now that the PS4 is available in more territories, it is totally crushing the Xbox One worldwide. I think I read somewhere that it was the fastest console launch in history?
