Regarding Asia

Microsoft Plots 2014 Launch for Xbox One in Asia

Asia :

Asian gamers will have to wait a year longer than their American counterparts to get their hands on Microsoft’s Xbox One, which will only be available in the region in late 2014, a year after its U.S. launch this November.

The new device will only be available in select Asian markets – Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and India

As I said in the other thread:

Well being from Portugal, this means I wouldn't be able to use their console if I bought it.

So they've just helped me decide to get the PS4.

THANKS MICROSOFT!

Wait, so the ping is geolocked??? HAHAHAHA - although might just be live.

Every decision they find a way to screw the consumer, just like the points scandal brewing.

Okay, what the fuck? Now you can't even import the hardware anymore? That's region-locking taken to the extreme.

So even if I wanted to buy it, I wouldn't have been able to. This is feeling like the exact opposite of the 360 launch. So many negative checkboxes ticked :/

Well so no one else would say it, sucks to be in Africa I guess ... then again Sony land here.
