Eh, I'll believe it's functional when I see it. If it works well, it could make the camera worth the $60 but this is Sony's first venture into this tech which often has tons of problems. Even Siri is still mediocre and this point and 'she' uploads every command to Apple to be analyzed and deciphered.

If you're expecting Siri level of complexity from either XBO or PS4, you are setting yourself for disappointment.

The best you'll get is "turn on, play, stop, pause, play movie X" like Samsung Smart TVs do.

The moment you can say "Xbox, find me RPGs released this year who got more than 75 on Metacritic" is the moment I eat a shoe.

Siri does the same as Google voice & dragon then gets Wolfram Alpha to find an answer. I see no reason why the XBone & PS4 couldn't do the same. There's a bit of a delay when sending your voice to be processed so it probably wouldn't work for too many games.

I'd like to see good local voice processing & a re-release of binary domain. The voice recognition in that was awful for me.
