That you can turn on the console with a voice command - therefore suggesting that the Kinect sensor is 'always listening' even when in standby mode - has proven particularly unsettling for some.
Concerns had arisen over the implications for potential breach of privacy with an always-on device that's equipped with an advanced camera and microphone array and a constant connection to the internet. In response to concerns over privacy with its next-gen console, Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One and its all-seeing Kinect sensor can be turned "completely off". While features like player identification and voice command will of course not function, Kinect is not required to operate the Xbox One or navigate its menus.
