If it's not mandatory then this is not a big problem.

What I don't get is the need of Kinect to use the voice commands. Can't a headset do that?

If they would simply allow the headsets everyone already has to be used for voice commands, nobody would buy a 150$ microphone.

Isn't it quite ironic that voice control has become Kinect's most appreciated feature? The price for the required hardware is almost zero, pretty much every 360 owner already has it, voice control has been possible for years, yet it was hardly ever implemented.

2 things:

1 - Who wants to wear a headset the entire time they're playing a game or have to take it on and off?

2 - The voice recognition software is running on the Kinect hardware and doesn't need to be programmed into every game to make it work

I didn't know that the software was running on Kinect, that explains it.

As for who wants to wear a headset... who want to shout to his TV? Or do you thing that Kinect will be able to understand what you say when speaking normally? Even in the videos (not on stage with the noise) people were talking loudly.
