The Xbox One had its launch and set records for Microsoft in terms of day one sales, with more than one million copies sold in less than 24 hours. While there are a lot of things to be excited about with the Xbox One, perhaps the biggest appeal is the Kinect motion sensor. The device is always on and always listening for voice commands. If you're like us and don't want to spend your time guessing out loud what the console will respond to, below is a list of useful commands the Kinect understands, courtesy of IGN.
