Playstation 4 supports voice recognition

Sony confirms PlayStation Camera allows for voice recognition; more details to be shared ahead of November launch.

3637 Comments

The PlayStation 4 will support voice commands, a Sony representative has confirmed.

No Caption Provided

"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that PlayStation Camera allows for voice recognition and we will look forward to sharing more details in the lead up to the launch of PlayStation 4 on November 29 [in Europe]," a Sony spokesperson told Polygon.

The confirmation comes shortly after an Amazon listing for the PlayStation Camera stated that it would allow features including "navigational voice commands."

Competitor Microsoft will offer voice command support for the Xbox One via Kinect.

The PS4 launches November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, and in 32 countries in all by the end of the year.

All this arguing over voice commands. LOL! dont get your panties in a bunch. I for one will most likely get both consoles the ps4 this nov and the xbox one when it gets a price drop. Im sure most people will end up with both at one point.

Microsoft always makes it sound like their Kinect is the ONE and only device that offers voice and motion control - gimmicks I'm not very interested in - but it looks like the PlayStation Eye can offer me a very similar experience (if I choose to) without shoving this device up my throat.

Now that Sony has won the next gen console war, we can look forward to a more gamer-centered industry moving forward...now that the chaff has been cut away.

@Hop103 It's a tough sell. That is one of the main advantages PS4 has going for it, the lower price point. I don't think many people will be convinced to spend $100 more just so they can say "Playstation ON!"

@Dreamer_Zero Sony is just copying a feature they had no intention of implementing in the hopes of getting some people who are on the fence. No need for that. I was more than happy with the current feature set of the PS4. This makes Sony look cheap.
