Breaking Bad co-star messing with some people’s Xbox One

Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul is causing problems for some owners of Microsoft’s Xbox One.

Paul stars in a new commercial for the console, showcasing voice commands used to interact with the Kinect sensor. Just one problem: When he says “Xbox On” in the commercial, his voice turns on the console in people’s homes.

While Paul uses other voice commands in the commercial, the Kinect seems to only be picking up on his “Xbox On” command.

Whether it’s intentional or just a fluke is a question being debated across the Internet. The company hasn’t commented.
