Microsoft pivoted from having you say "Xbox" to "Hey Cortana". I wonder if that change was a result of people preferring to interact with a personality, or just to make everything the same cross-platform. (Xbox, desktop, mobile).

It does. Long press on the home button, or press and swipe up.
I might be doing it wrong but it might also be that I'm on a Nexus 4. When I do that it brings me to Google search but the voice prompt still needs to be activated via tapping the mic button or using the voice command. Is there a way to change that to just immediately activate it? And what about from when the screen is off? I have a software home button so can't use it until the screen is turned on unfortunately.

I turned on the new Cortana voice integration and a day later I switched back to the built in Xbox voice control. Cortana might be a great digital assistant but when it comes to controlling an Xbox it's pretty terrible, the number of times I told it to do something and got the snap interface with something close to what I'd said as a web search...
