A short word coming out of E3: despite rolling out a couple of days ago,Microsoft has formally announced Cortana, the Windows-based speech recognition helper (similar to Siri and Google Now) is coming to Xbox Live and the Xbox console platform. This announcement has been suspected for a while as Microsoft integrates more of its technologies together, and trying to craft a consistent user experience across as many potential devices as possible. Aside from 'Xbox On',all commands can be processed via Kinect or a headset.
