Switzerland - yes it is a own language, but every german understands swiss and vice versa, at least when it's spoken slowly.

Huh?

Maybe he means Romansh, as that is one of the 4 official languages. However, only ~30-60 thousand people speak it.

yeah i made mistakes, sorry for that. some things i didn't knew better.
but what i tried to point out should be clear.

@crissindahouse:
i don't think that german media would react this harsh. i mean... SVoice from Samsung didn't really work well and no one bashed the S3 because of that. besides - we aren't talking about german not being supported. those countries should be used to missing translation for games etc.

they bashed the samsung voice stuff a lot but it is only a gimmick for many but microsoft advertises kinect as big part of the console so it should also work like that then. i mean, i think they really want people to use voice in the future for all the dashboard and tv stuff and it would be bad to have advertisement showing that and telling us to speak another language.

btw i don't think that the voice stuff is the only reason but it could be a part of the reason why it doesn't come to those countries. i mean, they will probably have not enough consoles at launch but those countries make maybe 5-10% of the market of all the countries where they planned to release the console in november. it won't really help the situation in usa, uk, germany and so on with 5-10% more console for these markets.

i think it is a combination of low shipments, kinect voice stuff and whatever and all that together could have been a reason for very bad articles in newspapers, magazines...

This is hilarious. They just handed these countries to Sony

They already had at their EU price point. This is just overkill.

MS has been a joke ever since 2013 started with Xbox One, back in march I never even thought I would be buying a PS4 now some months later I already have a Ps4 wth BF4 and Watch Dogs preordered and you know what MS they are releasing them this year here in Sweden.

This is such a major fuck up that I don't even know where to begin, I know that Scandinavia( especially Sweden - I was one of the few in my school who even owned a 360) is a serious Sony territory put right now MS just said " Here sony here is some cash to your cash flow" they might aswell just give them some Money right now.
