We're lucky it's not too late, but if you live in a country that isn't one of the 21 countries where the Xbox One will first launch, you better wait with your purchase/preorder as the console won't work outside of those mentioned countries.

Brazil matters for the game market

It sure does. You guys are one of the BRIC countries after all ;)

Oh and it seems due to the online DRM, the console is now "country locked" instead of region locked. Interesting development. If Movies do this in the future, i won't be able to buy stuff cheaper through the likes of Amazon.co.uk :(

Man, look at those restrictions and DRM in all its glory.

What is the reasoning for limiting Xbox One Live support to only a few countries?

Production issues? Or network infrastructure?

At least Brazil was listed because how we will import a console

Funnily enough, no China, whose middle class consists of more people than the populations of Russia and Brazil combined... :P

I guess it's just not easy to tap into that market, with the Chinese govt. being somewhat restrictive and piracy being quite dominant over there.

It's really unsettling. It's not about buying or not buying the Xbox One anymore, but really restricting practices that i hope won't spread to other entertainment forms!

I think Sony only get the licence to sell the PS3 there last year.
