Microsoft: Xbox One voice commands will not be available at launch in Italy

Here's a news story that we did not expect: Microsoft has updated the Xbox.com Web site with a page that lists the features of Xbox One , and so far nothing is strange; flowing though at the end of the page there is a note that reads " Xbox voice commands will not be available in all markets to the release date of the product. At launch voice commands will be available in United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France and Germany ".

It seems, therefore, that in Italy, along with other countries in which the console will launch to D1 as Spain, Australia, Brazil and Ireland, we won't be able to use all the voice commands like "Xbox, on", "Xbox, record now" etc. of which we have spoken so far. This means that Microsoft will add this feature with an update at a later time, a bit like what happened with the first Kinect.

This information however mussel with the justification that Microsoft gave the Xbox One failed launch in countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Russia and others, stating that the delay in the launch is to be found in the problems of localization of voice control on Kinect. Why then the console comes in countries such as ours although even here the voice control's implementation is not yet complete? We are waiting for official comments from Microsoft.
