They couldn't let Sony have a lead regardless of plans/changes to final product. But yeah I agree that they likely didn't want to release this early and/or they wanted to but as anyone software development/product development knows... things happen and that causes delays.

Remember all the rumors of issues with initial chips and code? I think that was all very true and took time away from finalizing the many features/language support you refer to. Thus a working but not finished product.


This. Microsoft knows full well that the Xbox One wasn't ready, but because of the cloud and the way the Xbox One was built that everything they needed was pretty much a digital fix. They even fixed their clockspeed right before launch because of how impressive the PS4 proved itself to be. Microsoft knows never to let Sony launch before them.
