So then maybe this would mean bigger shipments in the countries they are launching in.


Why would they screw over 8 countries though? Couldn't they just make more consoles?

Same reason why Sony delayed PS3 into 2007.

My guess, its all Don Mattricks fault and MS is trying to clean up the mess he started.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I really did not like that guy and I really do believe Microsoft is better off without him. Of all the douchebags I've seen on a stage this year, he was by far the biggest of them all.

If anyone from Switzerland is reading this thread (do we even have users from Switzerland?) - I'm pretty sure Barozi will export some Xbones to you

and to think all MS had to do was repeat the same winning strategy they had, and release sooner. A 2012 Xbox 1 would have been a game changer.

They are having trouble to launch in 2013... I think in 2013 they didn't have the Xbone close to ready yet.

Well, it depends on what winning is. To many people, the XBox One already has won with it's game lineup, however sales wise, yes it probably will lose.

Lets not be hasty here guys....Sony is yet to reveal exactly which countries will be getting the PS4 this year aswell, we could very much see the same thing happening to the PS4.


Dude..you know Sony is going to launch in more countries. The PS4 has been prepped for a larger market and the console was even finished before Microsofts. That and Microsoft has to strategize to break Sonys hold in other countries. Sony already has their foot through the next gen door with a lot of positivity behind it.
