This is kind of like the boy that cried wolf:

Thy are listing the PS4 and XBox as a "a little creepy" They are listing Apple iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Apple Air Pods, Roku, ChromeCast, and Kindle as "somewhat creepy".

I am concerned about my privacy and avoid "smart" speakers, appliances, etc, but do not find the devices I listed above "creepy".

Do you trust the xbox one to keep its microphone always off? I own one but do find it a little creepy. I keep the kinect turned around away from the room, and have the setting to make it turn fully off. This means annoying waits sometimes when it insists on a software update when turned on, but I think the setting is worth it.
