Sorry, Shifty but I completely disagree, well, mostly. If you are talking about a controller it is only faster if and when the controller is actually on. Even if it IS on, my voice is still faster when I hop out of my seat and say, "xbox pause" than grabbing my controller and then double-tapping "A" (again this assuming the controller is on). Maybe I'm just completely different than all of you but I don't walk around my condo with either my remote or my controller when heading to the bathroom or while cooking or when just moving about, even when not doing those things my controller or even my remote control always seem to be...where I'm not...old-school habit of tossing the remote or controller to the side. Side-note, though it is absent in Netflix the 360 does have some apps, like Video Marketplace, where you can chapter skip through voice as well (the equivalent of the bumpers).
I also find theres some cognitive dissonance going on with gamers with respect to "easier" it is as if the complaints about controllers being difficult to use the "too many buttons" aren't heard (the same is true for universal remotes which is why touch-screens came about). The number or people in my circle that stare at the buttons of a universal or even single product remote control is amazing, hell, I still have to do that in my sons room since he doesn't have a Harmony remote. Separate from this, if it stands to reason that most people don't have completely illuminated remotes then would it also stand to reason that using them in the dark is more difficult, for what some already deem a difficult device, to use?
What I really, Really, REALLY find amazing is that many of you are under the impression that some very large number of people are even going to take the time to learn which button to depress to do which action...have you never experienced, "it tells you on the screen what to push, push Y, Push Y, PUSH Y...THE YELLOW ONE!!!" but somehow push RB1 three times is going to be "easy".
