stock is pretty tight these days with titanfall selling systems.  i think MS is wise to stick to 13 countries for now instead of overstretched themselves with 39 countries.

I would bet my left arm and say
kinect localisation

Launch a Halo bundle for 400$ on those 26 markets near Christmas = profit.

Probably waiting for stock to sell through so they can release the Kinectless SKU worldwide.

First cboat, now ntkrnl... I have lost my faith!

Most of 26 countries wont even get A kinect localisation.Its probably about removing Kinect entirely from system.
+ ONE game packed in bundles will sale like hotcakes.(TITFALL/FIFA15/Forza5)
atleast in Turkey

Stock is not tight at all man. 

PS4 entrenched by September 2014??? Even if were to sell 20 million life time by September we'd still be not even a third through the minimum total amount of total gamers worldwide....

releasing for the Holliday season with a bundle and or a price cut is the most sounded plan... Doing a massive campaign in spring/summer is retarded... Even if you boost sales your return on marketing investment won't be compensated by sales for a console...

anyway the Gen just started XBox will be second again this Gen but will sell just fine over time... So no worries...

They won't remove kinect at all, it is integral to the systems OS. What makes you think if will sell like hotcakes?

Don´t think all these countries will get the consoles at the same time. Next month more details will be given.

However, 10 months is a good improvement over last gen, Brazil only got the 360 two years after the USA and the PS3 FIVE years later, PS2 EIGHT!! years, first Xbox... never.
