I don't think I've ever used siri, google voice search, or other such services for anything other than just testing them out.
My family uses it pretty successfully with the XBox One for Netflix. Admittedly it depends on the person. I'm about 99% on accuracy, two of my kids are around 90%. My youngest daughter (missing 2 front teeth) get's maybe 30% hits.
The funniest is my wife...she's around 50% as she won't learn to enunciate with it (it does take a bit of practice). It drives her a bit nuts that she'll be "Xbox, turn off....Xbox, turn off...Xbox, turn off". Then on of my kids shouts from the other room "Xbox, turn off" and it turns off.
In any case, three out of five of us find it useful enough that it's a nice to have on a replacement device (what I really want is to stop having xbox for netflix/twitch/hulu/etc and using a separate box for XBMC).
