BS.
The original Kinect launch was exactly the same way. I don't think this behavior is anything new for Microsoft:

Deja vu.
This is not unusual for Microsoft, this is exactly how Microsoft always works. If you are familiar with Bing, Windows Phone, Xbox video/music, etc. they always are slow to roll out services to the rest of the world. If you consider this "messy" and "not ready" then Microsoft is always "messy" and "not ready."
Nokterian said:They said the same thing for the netherlands..it never came. Not did i bother to buy kinect but promising something 3 years ago and still not here is to me huge false promise.
Did you read Alberts recent posts that stuff like "Xbox, go to Ryse" works in all 8 languages?
We'll know more later when that chart arrives.

I appreciate Albert coming in to clarify things but how many times has he done that now? MS PR says something and he comes in to shed more light or clarify things.
Language support in terms of more limited voice commands in some cases. No mention of Japanese support (granted they're not launching there, but they already had support for it on 360).What functionality hasn't been retained?
In this case though, it was confusion around some small print on a webpage.

This is a far greater problem.
Back then, if you lived in Europe, you could simply abstain from buying the Kinetic as you knew that it was limited in functions.
But now, in countries aside from 5, you are buying a console for FULL price and not get all is functions and can only hope that MS doesn´t take to long to add them to your countrie.
Wouldn´t be fair to consumers to only release in those 5?
Are you seriously kidding me right now? All your comment does is confirm exactly what I said. You're simply suggesting this is a PATTERN, and my response would merely be it may be a pattern, but that doesn't change the fact that for a console launch this can only be defined as "messy" and "not ready."
The opposite of 'not ready' would be 'completely ready', and that means no features missing in some territories, no cutting launch countries by half.
Don't worry, they'll be ready one day
While I'm glad Australia is one of the launch countries (finally), its becoming increasingly clear to me that Microsoft most likely actually wanted to launch this console next year, under the assumption the 360 would still be selling like a truck.
The combination of Sony having their powder dry and all current gen sales dropping off a cliff has really caught them on the hop.
The concern for me personally is that somehow we early adopters are going to get screwed. Oh well, wait and see I guess.
Not that's a new console box quote if I've ever seen one.Microsoft has never launched a consumer product or service completely ready. If you're ever expecting that to happen you have unrealistic expectations.
I'm still scratching my head over "Xbox On" only working in five territories and four of the languages when (as I understand it) the Kinect 1 understands that phrase in all eight languages listed. I'm inclined to call BS, to be honest here.

you must have an anti MS agenda, your inclinations can't possibly be based on common sense.
a) it's already works in the Kinect 1, it should therefore be easy to make it work with the Kinect 2, b) I would expect that the "turn console on" command would have been the first command to be implemented, tbh.

The low-powered state isn't dependent on the Kinect...you can't turn xbox on with kinect 1, and it's probably a legal/regulations issue with leaving the console on and listening in a low power state

You can still wake the Xbone up from the low-powered state with a controller.
they really aren't ready are they?
What cases?
Yes, a voice recognition process that you would think would be of high priority to have done( also relatively easy to implement...).Yes, but the "wake up" from a controller not implies a voice recognition process, it is only a signal from the receptor.
I'd love to watch a behind the scenes documentary about the Xbox One. I'd love to see the effect that all of this stuff has had on the day-to-day MS/Xbox employees. Seeing the device that you worked on for who knows how long go through all of this crap must not be easy.
Jesus, what a mess!
Why not wait a couple of months and nail things down then release the damned thing?
There is an announcement/correction/clarification/chart being released for this thing on an almost weekly basis.
That would be really interesting. It has to be CRAZY right now with all the 180s, so much is being changed or discarded for the time being.
Surely Australia must be part of the "UK" English.

WW means "World wide".2) English GB (WW)
Why are you so confusing, next-gen?
Anybody else thinks that both Sony and MS should delay their launches until at least the summer of next year?
Why throw Sony into this? They're ready.
Scott Lowe is that you.I dunno, I mean they're still using dev-kits at conferences instead of the actual console.
I still don't get how they made it so small and quiet at the same time... I don't want another RRoD case again.
