GAME: Xbox One release date to be announced today


Recommended Posts

Better be before or same day as the PS4 if they want a small lead....

That's pretty much going to be irrelevant for either console. Whatever supply they have is going to sell out so its not going to make much of a difference if they are out with it before or after Sony.

Can't view those links at work, is it 22nd in the UK as well?

Xbox One will be available on Friday November 22, 2013 in all 13 of our initial launch markets ? Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and USA. Many more markets will follow in 2014.

Just done mine!

 

Although I only got the standard edition console so it isn't actually guaranteed for lunch day :(

Wait, so they are launching in 13 regions instead of 8?  Well that's great news, they must have gotten things finished ahead of schedule.

 

That date also means that they are launching after the ps4 in NA, but before the ps4 in the rest of the world.

It was always only cut down to 13 afaik.  8 is the number of regions they've localized Kinect voice recognition for.

I doubt that other markets will take long to follow, could see a number of new markets after the holidays in January.

Amazon.com is the best...

I asked why there wasn't a 1 day shipping option on my Xbox One pre-order...

And the sent me a email... Well read for yourself

I think because they don't quite have any type of title that will sell well in Asia, specially not in Japan anyways, ready yet.  Plus all the localization around Kinect is probably going to take harder with Asian languages and all the different types out there that the delay is probably a good thing.    I don't think the release will lag much though, November in 13 markets, probably January for the 8 that they originally planned to go with but delayed to make It 21.  Then February for a few more and so on.    I wouldn't be surprised if Japan gets the XB1 around Spring, April-May is my bet.   Probably around the time some of the bigger titles from Japanese developers are ready to come out as well so the timing matches up.
