MCV jumped the gun completely on this shit.  Voice control for non-english languages is what will not be available at launch.

Which is simply not acceptable at all... This feature should be ready for every market

Well seeing as most likely 3/4 of Xbox users speak English it is very acceptable.

Yeah, fuck the rest of the world, as long as the majority get what they want, the minority doesn't matter at all.

OT: That's pretty good news, though I still think they should postpone the launch. They have some bugs they can work out and they could probably have a larger launch if it wasn't releasing alongside heaps of games and other hardware.

Like Netflix?  Last.fm?  ESPN?

There is lots of stuff that is only available to a portion of the Xbox userbase.

How about games released only in Japan?  Do you think companies shouldn't be allowed to release those until they are localized into every other countries language and released worldwide?

Ummm, Kinect is a piece of hardware. The whole voice command thing is one of it's main selling points. It's like if PS3's in Japan had PSN, but PS3's in Australia didn't. If your going to release something, then your better off waiting until everything's sorted out and every customer can start on an equal footing. 

Ummm, Xbox 360 is a piece of hardware.  Netflix, Last.fm and ESPN were big selling points during the last couple of E3s yet they are only available in the US.

You proved nothing with your point.  Hardware or software, sometimes not every region will get all the features that other regions might.  Besides, the voice control for stuff like movie control still works.  I don't care where you are from you can learn to say "Xbox stop.  Xbox play."

Also, please explain to me why it's better for Microsoft for them to wait?

The Kinect obviously isn't ready? The thing barely works at acceptable standards, the launch lineup is absolutely ridiculous, alot of the promises they made at last years E3 has yet to be implemented and I'm sorry If I care more about a quality product than I do about the Microsoft VGCHartz circle jerk in the sales thread.

I don't agree with your other opinion, so I won't reply to it as I've already explained my opinion in the thread. I barely said anything negative about Microsoft and people came jumping at me, whatever, I've learnt that my opinion is a better one in comparison to the biased people on this forum.
