well the OS stuff hasn't exactly lit the world on fire either. the xbone reveal had like 20 mintues dedicated to voice and motion control of the user interface and the story the press picked up was "where's the games?" and "what's up with the DRM?". if it was so important that i can say "xbox on" it would be talked about a lot more.
...besides it's not like voice or motion controls are exclusive, new or even well recieved.

I'm not sure we've really seen the OS yet, nor have we seen it completely in motion either. We've seen bits and pieces. That said, what we did see of the OS was impressive, even if you weren't impressed.
And who cares that we didn't see games at the reveal. We've seen games ever since. As more become ready to show they keep showing off more and more. There aren't too many people disappointed in the Xbox One's line-up of launch games or games being released in 2014. So why does it matter to you how they started off the reveal of the Xbox One. I mean for gosh sakes, the reveal of the Xbox One has been one of the slowest, most drawn out reveals I think that may have ever existed in this history of an electronic device.
You undermine your very own argument when the fact is out of the box, like so many other modern electronics, the Xbox One will support voice control. I'll laugh at your Siri link, because being old enough to be around when vioce control of the Ui was still in its infancy and required an expensive piece of software that cost about $500, a long and lengthy learning/training process that makes setting up a learning remote look easy, and the fact that it could only work a handful of actual commands. It's extremely laughable that people would complain about the problems with Siri.
Kinect with the Xbox One improves upon Kinect with the Xbox 360, significantly in a number of areas as well.
I'm glad the PS4 has voice support, let's see it. Let's see the PS4 do what the Xbox One does with voice, facial recognition, motion capture, motion control. I haven't seen the PS4 Camera actually do what you say it does. I've seen a demo for Playroom, but that's meaningless. So, where are those lauded features that the PS4 can support? Hell, we haven't actually even seen a real demo of the PS4 Camera's ability to switch gamer position.
Granted, Sony says they're there, so I know you believe them. And i'm sure they're fantasticly implmented on the first try. So it'll be really cool to say over and over a command and the PS4 won't respond. But I'm sure it's really going to be awesome. Well, that is if, like the Move, Sony doesn't completely forget about it and abandon it.
By the time Sony gets voice commands working on the PS4, Microsoft will have "Cortana" fully implemented on the Xbox One, Windows, and Windows Phone. But I'm sure Sony's voice commands will be quaint.
