Same thing happened to my daughter when she pulled her curly hair back into a tight ponytail. Just had to tell Kinect it didn't recognize her during the log in and it logs more data to better recognize later etc.
And my point not very well articulated point on Black Friday was what you mentioned...not providing many consoles for sale on the biggest shopping day in the biggest market in the world was curious to me. Seems they could have staggered the roll out differently while not essentially ignoring the US market on that day.
Either way, thus far I'm quite happy with the One and if/when things get fleshed out I think the interface will prove to be extremely effective. It already is IMO....voice commands are working at over 95% of the time in a house with quite a bit of ambient noise (kids, dishwasher, a horrendously noisy dih network box fan etc). In fact I've only repeated myself once the last 3 days. I love the snap feature even just for silly things like firing up a game during intermission and having it in the top corner so you know when the next period has started. I think it will become quite powerful when the apps themselves really integrate the voice control.
