Forums - Microsoft - [CONFIRMED] Xbone to Launch Only in 13 Countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland delayed to 2014)

Better to release in the bigger markets, i don't expect it to sell much outside of Europe or America.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I explained that and why.  Did I worded it funny again?

No. I just remembered the earnings docs and shared that.

To be fair to Microsoft, as long as they have the Anglo countries + Mexico, that's all that really matters.

Also maybe the most sensible post on Neogaf

Allocation, looking to saturate their primary markets. Good business sense, imo.

Pretty much.

I think nobody can deny CBOAT and the yields issues now... the production volume of Xbone must be really low.


..or the US pre-order massively high.

That was good

Was this the reason?

Launch volumes are not really an issue. This was simply a software issue in terms of getting local language and voice support in the dash. it's pretty straightforward, but disappointing I know for people who are missing launch.

Obviously, I support people waiting for the official supported launch in the affected markets for the best experience ;)
