We've gone over this many times, it was not a matter of timing. MS's strategy of dividing the launch territories backfired. They expected to completely sell out and dominate in Tier 1 with tier 2 eagerly awaiting for the best thing since slided bread. It did not happen. Gamers in tier 2 countries have been able to get an xbox one almost since launch.


This.

I think one question that needs to be asked is why Microsoft felt it was okay to skip those regions?  There is a logical reason for Microsoft to call Japan a Teir 2 country.  Those regions are areas that are less important to Microsoft because they make up such a small portion of THEIR overall market share.
