Microsoft has inadvertently confirmed that, at launch, the voice commands for the new Kinect that's bundled with the Xbox One are going to be available only in the US, the UK, Canada, France, and Germany.

The Xbox One is bundled with the new Kinect sensor and Microsoft is focusing a lot on the voice commands supported by the peripheral, even delaying the Xbox One's release in several countries due to localization issues.

However, the company has confirmed, via the fine print on an official website about the next-gen console, that the Xbox One will support voice commands at launch only in the US, the UK, Canada, France, and Germany.

No other details are given and it's unclear why other English-speaking countries, like Australia, New Zealand, or Ireland, aren't present.
