New Xbox Kinect

Microsoft just made Xbox Kinect better with voice recognition. Now you can talk to your Xbox console to play games, manipulate multimedia content and do Bing search. It will be available before the end of this year and expect a seamless interaction combining voice, gestures and the Xbox controller. An on-stage demo of Ghost Recon was shown that was controlled by voice and gestures. Customizing the weapons and playing the game looks fun.

I wonder how the voice recognition software reacts to different English accents from different nations and if will support later on native foreign languages.
