The trolling potential for the Xbox One is coming into focus. Here's one example.

In this YouTube video, user Master of Luck creates a gamertag called "Xbox Sign Out," and prods other players in Call of Duty: Ghosts until they say his name.

When other players say "Xbox, Sign Out," Kinect catches the accidental voice command and their session is interrupted, if only for a brief moment.

You can avoid such an inconvenience by unplugging Kinect or playing with friends online in a private party chat--unless of course your friends are the trolls.

Microsoft announced this week that it sold 3 million Xbox One consoles worldwide in 2013, a full 1.2 million systems behind the 4.2 million PlayStation 4 units Sony moved during the year.
