haha ..I actually noticed this sound during their presentation at some point ..and got confused since it wasn't from my pc
I am fairly sure you can get Kinect drivers/hardware for Windows 7.So if they were running games on Win7, this means that the voice controls were all fake.
Yeah, when has Microsoft ever made a bad decision in their presentations?Yes, but you can't buy similar hardware to a custom designed dedicated gaming GPU. You're talking about one of the largest software and electronics companies in the world, they didn't make some stupid mistake here, every aspect of their E3 presence has been meticulously planned, the MS dude with the cabinet door open isn't even trying to hide what's in there - why not? Because there's nothing to hide.
Just because one indie devs game was running on an actual devkit doesn't mean every game was. For example, Watch Dogs in the PS4 presentation was confirmed to be running on a "similarly-specced" PC.PS4 running on dev kits rather than Power PCs
what does Power PC have to do with PS4?PS4 running on dev kits rather than Power PCs
what does Power PC have to do with PS4?
Oh, PC. Power PC is a CPU architecture by IBM (as opposed to x86 or arm etc.) Consoles such as the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii used the Power PC.The dev says that their games are running on the actual PS4 rather than PCs (what Microsoft is doing).

Not necessarily, Xbox One is essentially running Windows so it's possible that the software layer they're using for game and console functionality could be portable to their earlier OSs.So if they were running games on Win7, this means that the voice controls were all fake.
Correction. PS3 uses CELL (although derived from PowerPC, is too radically different that there is virtually no similarity).Oh, PC. Power PC is a CPU architecture by IBM (as opposed to x86 or arm etc.) Consoles such as the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii used the Power PC.
My understanding was that the PS3's Cell processor was just an implementation of PPC. Much like the an Intel Core i5 and an AMD Phenom are both x86_64 cpus, but are different implementations. The PS3 CELL processor is a rather complicated implementation of PPC, but it still implements the instructions making it PPC.Correction.

Anyway, this is pretty normal for E3 representation. A bit surprised on Windows 7 not Windows 8. It would not surprise me if X1 runs modified Windows as its OS.
