Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Come Nov. the US will be the only country they launch in.
Watch it be the best news in months.Now we need Wii U news.
What next? Iwata elected as the emperor of Steam?
Lol if this is true.. MS is doomed in Europe.
Main concern would be warranty-related while importing, especially in non-EU countries.Isn't it region free so does it really matter where they launch?
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
Italy
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Russia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States
I would say: Brazil, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand are getting axed as well.So, which countries will they rule out?
Poland, Russia and?
This is the list.
Assuming US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Italy are getting it, which other countries will be left out if this is true?
And Russia being left out is staggering.
Do you know MS Poland and their gold/platinum partners sold XBL/Live cards before XBL was available in Poland and suggested to create account using Polish Embassy in US?I bet MS will totally allow this.
They are saying info from some Microsoft insider is that Xbone will be available at launch not in 21 countries as originally planned, but only in 13.
Watch it be the best news in months.
No, never happened.Do you know MS Poland and their gold/platinum partners sold XBL/Live cards before XBL was available in Poland and suggested to create account using Polish Embassy in US?
Nintendo buys Atlus :O
He didn't say worst news in months
Have a hard time believing this one...
Whatever territories they skip would obviously not be NA and UK, meaning that they would be leaving wide open countries were they are already at a disadvantage.
The only thing that could make them do this is REALLY bad production numbers but I have a hard time believing they would bad enough to require excluding a full 8 countries.
21 or 13 countries they were doomed here in Europe the day they announced this BS selective launch plan, Europe is already Sonyland and with the higher price plus the whole "sometime at 2014" delay the gap between the sales will be much bigger this gen than it was with the 360 and the PS3.
To be honest I think it's pretty safe at this point to say that MS doesn't give a fuck about Europe, it's the opposite of what many people here anticipated (especially after Phil Harrison joined MS) but with all the weird decisions that MS made with the Xbone thus far I guess it's not that unexpected to see them dropping the ball entirely here in Europe.
Why is all this happening today?
I would say: Brazil, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand are getting axed as well.

It is Friday. It is when you dump your bad news.
Wow. Russia? Now, that's just fucking stupid.

So it was solely APN Promise's doings and noone from MS Poland didn't know about it? Because that what happened.No, never happened.
it's FridaytonWhy is all this happening today?
why allocate consoles to places they no they may not sell out of when u can have those consoles being sold in the usa with a higher chance of being purchased. .. could be the reason they may skip japan until mid 2014

Polygamia.
Hmm.
Maybe it has something to do with languages?
There are 13 countries in that list where they speak English, French, Italian, German or Spanish.
Those where they speak Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Russian and Swedish will have to wait:

Most young europeans speak english too though so it's a really crappy decision if the language is the reason.Maybe because of the new Kinect libraries?
It's a good point. Belgium might make it, they also speak French over there.

My guess is that because of manufacturing issues/shortage, they want to allocate Xbones to the countries that matter most to sales.
Well duh
What happened to the crazy article saying the Xbox One was going to outsell the PS4 3 to 1?
