Forums - Microsoft Discussion - The Xbox One Might Be Out On November 8

The lack of "confirmed" in the data seems to point to a guess data and not a real one.

If is true then the Xbone have one week of advantage over PS4 in US/Canada.

I thought the final version was already getting delayed due to further changes. Things could still be up in the air but I wouldn't doubt that as the intended launch date, probably for a long time going.

Where did you hear that?


Cboat mostly, but there is talk he got bad info on that last leak.

his last patch of info was in fact wrong. mainly the PS4 release date

sweet the sooner the better... not to beat PS4 but because the sooner it will be available the happier I am :D

Smart to place it so close with CoD.. 3 days waiting for the next gen version isn't that hard.

nice leg up for xbone, wonder if it'll make a splash of a difference in sales?

it wont. the only thing that will limit these consoles sales is supply. the lauch dates are maximum 2 weeks apart, it really wont make a difference. it will all come down to supply 

Yeah, it's mostly about making sure they get a few days in the limelight of media coverage before the PS4 launches.  Sales won't matter as both consoles will be sold out through February anyway.

Never understood the obsession on either side for their console to launch mere weeks ahead of the competition. Would make virtually no difference. It's not like millions of people are going to suddenly pre-order cancel and jump ship. Even if they tried, good luck getting one before the other drops a little later.

It's a matter of having a day all to your self.  Hence why I don't think it launched on Nov. 5.  Call of Duty will be on everyone's minds that day and better not get lost in that shuffle.

That week will definitely give them the advantage. I expect microsoft to come up first this gen.

Oh, I forgot about that. I'd imagine that the hardware has been done for awhile now.

He said the PS4 wasn't even done, though very close. He was more critical on Xbox One making changes and being no where ready. I don't know how accurate it can be so close to the supposed launch of either console since production is probably hitting in September at the latest. Xbox One did drop 8 countries from its launch schedule and there were all those rumors of power ups and downs for it along with heating issues and all the yield issues it had early on in its development. MS just needs to announce their launch date, they should have already, makes me think it isn't set in stone.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
