No you made a claim that the Xbox One will not work which isn't proven to be the case, all you've posted is a support person posting the company line that they should wait till it's available in their region which is perfectly reasonable. 

Please find this evidence of your claim as I've asked you to provide multiple times.  You can deflect  all you like but you've made a claim and not provided any evidence to support it.

 

Please directly spoon feed me the quote that supports your claim or admit you're lying and making shit up once and for all.

Dude says that if he is not from a supported country but has a UK account would he be able to play? Xbox support says "may not work".

Which isn't saying "does not work" but nice try, keep digging.

So yeah, Romania's not on their map. Hehehe, this'll be funny, I'll finally have more people from around here to play on PSN with. Considering how just about no one is creating infrastructure to actually support us, I don't see the XBox One doing any sort of business around here. And some people still think I'm hating on the XBox One...it seems the console is actually hating back,

Romania already isn't supported by Xbox Live for 360 let alone Xbone. However Poland is for 360 so you'd think network infrastructure would already be there. Romania and Poland are both supported by PSN.



Hmm, pie.

I'm really curious about this. There's no information about when specific regions are going to be supported, so some people will have no option but to import. We also don't know if regions are identified by IP or something else. If they do import, will their Live accounts work? Will people have to connect through a proxy and then create a Live account for that proxy's country?

Anyway the tweets don't say clearly that people won't be able to play games in the unsupported regions. They just say they won't have the full experience. What is that supposed to mean?



The MS confusion continues...........



Nooo!! Now we get to hear: "PS4 only sells so much more because it is available in more countries" all next gen



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Supported countries at launch

Very limited fanbase here. No countries in Africa or Asia, only Brazil In South America and barely half of Europe. We could tell it was for North Americans, especially Americans and we see that's the only region with full support. 

Xbox One is compatible in Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand at launch. While, PS4 works in every country in the world regardless. I think i know who will win hear. 



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

One of the reason that I could think of is that MS doesn't want X1 launch filled with people complaining the server down. Remember what happened to Diablo 3 and SimCity when they released worldwide and they couldn't handle the massive load . So they release X1 only on selected countries at launch to prevent the same fiasco that happened to Diablo and SimCity.

Someone should calculate how much percent of all people on earth will have access to a xbox one.

I'm not gonna bother calculating exactly, but there's about 1.1bn people in all those countries combined.
