欧洲大陆明年春季之前，kinect将不支持声音识别

微软告知EUROGAMER 西班牙分部，在2011年之前，kinect将不支持声控。
微软确认了之前关于Kinect声控功能的流言：
Kinect声控将只支持美式英语，英式英语，日语，墨西哥西班牙语，即便是加拿大人也要等到明年春天才能使用这一功能。
但是，即便那些能够流利地说英语或者墨西哥西班牙语的人，也可能由于xbox360的分区限制而导致声控功能无效。
微软接着解释做出这样的决定（声控支持墨西哥西班牙语而不是本土西班牙语）是因为：在美国有1.06亿说西班牙语的人，其中有1300万墨西哥人有家用机。相比之下，西班牙总共仅有4500万人口。

Microsoft has told Eurogamer Spain that Kinect voice recognition will be disabled for mainland Europe until spring 2011.

The company confirmed rumours that the voice-recognition software will only accept American English, British English, Japanese and Mexican Spanish at launch this November. Even Canadians will have to wait until spring 2011 to be able to control the system via voice.

Frustratingly, even those fluent in English - or Spanish speakers that can imitate Mexican Spanish - won't be allowed to activate Kinect voice recognition due to the region-locked status of their Xbox 360.

Microsoft went on to explain that the decision to support Mexican Spanish and not native Spanish was a case of numbers: there are 106 million Spanish speakers in the US and 13 million Mexicans with consoles. And that compares favourably to the 45 million people in Spain.
