Xbox TV Commercial backfires by turning the consoles ON

Last updated: 9 years ago


Palo Alto, CA -June 15, 2014 -(TerraUS, mhUSA)-
Xbox One owners have complained since the new Television commercial came into inception into people ' s homes, that the wording on the AD manages to turn user ' s consoles on without their permission.

Since most users wrongly believed that their voice fingerprints were unique to each-their own Xbox One, once the product has been initialized, has turned out to be just another doodle in dreamland tech world, since the voice commands can be accessed and triggered by just any voice at all, not JUST the user ' s pre-registered ' s voice but to anyone in the world who issues the command.

The ad - featuring Breaking Bad ' s Aaron Paul - has the actor say the words ʻʻXbox Onʼʼ, at the beginning of the ad and such instruction has triggered the machine ' s Kinect voice/motion sensor, activating the console, is this how Microsoft pays for user ' s loyalty? by silently scaling down their privacy to giants?

A spokesman for the firm said it had no comment at this time, but noted that previous ads had also featured voice commands. Many people have posted comments about the problem on social media sites.

ʻʻAaron Paul just turned my Xbox One via the Xbox advert. (Which triggered the IR infrared blaster to switch my TV off..)ʼʼ tweeted Qassim Farid, a UK-based tech blogger.

Chesterfield-based Tom Neal wrote: ʻʻ@Xbox your new TV advert is annoying the hell outta me. Aaron Paul keeps turning my console on… #stooooopʼʼ

The effect has also been noted on news discussion site Reddit ' s Xbox section, with one commentator writing: ʻʻDamn commercial keeps turning on my xbox! Lolʼʼ
