Why cant one perfer both? If one has to pick then yes buttons will be picked the most as they are more reliable and were used to them. But if you combine the two it could make for better and convenient experience

If you watched this video it shows all those things working as one, even with more than one person in the room, to be exact 6 people. You also have to remember during this video it was in alpha stage, so the final version will be even better. 

I'm not sure what you have against voice commands. If you don't want to use them fine, use a controller. There will be instances were a controller will be more convenient, but other times it wont be. Several others and I already gave good examples of how voice commands would be better and faster than buttons, but you and several others seem to ignore those statements when a solid point is given.  

I'm not sure what the bolded has to do with this thread. Just seems like something you threw in to take a jab at MS. If you haven't notice, since the 360 Slim the failure rate has gone down significantly. 


I don't have anything against voice commands, but I just want it to be implemented properly.  My cousin has the first kinect and I have used it a few times and the voice command on that can be pretty touch and go.  We did have to repeat ourselves several times.  I do feel a lot better about Kinect 2 after seeing that, even though I still wish it was't required to run the console. 

If you want to get Kinect 1 to hear you better, you should go back to the audio setup, make sure you have a decent amount of noice playing in the background.  This will train the device to filter out mor sound and basically here you better when you have a movie or background noise going on.  When I did this, I never have to raise my voice above my regular speaking tone to get it to hear me.

This isn't even a question. And anyone who says they'd rather talk to their TV is lying.

I think you need to look up the definition of prefer...You can like both of them, but you prefer one over the other.

Your thread doesn't have that third option which is both. Most ppl stick with what they are used to no matter what. I didn't vote but I would if I could vote both.


The question asks which do you prefer...


Ok

Button.

But why is this in the MS thread, when Samsung already have voice / gesture control of TV on some of its product lines?

I never would have thought you would want everything over nothing.  I thought for sure you would have gone with nothing.
