I can't wait to see the tv ads, you can control your console with your voice, just not yet, but sometime in the future you will be able to, maybe, probably.

I was looking for a good animated gif of someone rubbing their forehead sadly. If anyone has one, please let me know so I can add it. Where do you guys find those things?!
Let me say a couple things.
First - this wasn't my understanding, and to keep the meme going, I'm going to walk over to the engineers and ask them what's going on.
Second - I did say, very clearly and with no double-talk, that when you hear or read externally us say "localization related", it means voice, text, and other testing and certification related to Live and the Marketplace. That's honestly about as clear as you could be.
Third - it's also possible that I can be wrong sometimes.
I will find out the truth, and get back to you. If this turns out to be correct (which I don't think it is), then you absolutely have my apologies if anyone was mislead.

Tier 1 English only.
Albert, while you're there, could you please also ask them about the FAQ page that says once you select a language, it will filter down your choices of available locales you can select based on your language selection. How restrictive will that be? Will someone be able to set language as English and still claim Italy as their locale? Or will an Italian who doesn't speak very good English but lives in the US be able to select Italian as their language and still have the US available for locale?
I ask because as someone who's planning to be an International School Teacher, restrictions of locale selection based on language spoken makes me wonder.
Thank you!
Just like the Kinect1 ads?
it was much more involved than voice commands as was pointed out by Albert in that thread... But people just continue to simplify and accuse of deception (like it really matters) rather than try and comprehend a complex situation
'Xbox, time for a cuppa an some crumpets innit' as voice command confirmed.

I got that but you can't say the delay was due localizations now... we will get the Xbox One here in Brazil without voice commands... so why Portugual not?
No, it's because the reason given for those delays was "localization issues". Now we find out that there are localization issues (maybe the same, maybe different) in some of the countries Xbox One is launching in. So that begs the question, why are some localization issues acceptable to MS, while other localization issues are resulting in not launching in a specific country?

Well, Albert did admit they were behind schedule.
Also, if he comes here to answer questions. I have a few that he forgot to answer from the other thread. I would prefer Albert to answer, and not anyone else for him.

When you say your hardware is on schedule, does that schedule accommodate for yield issues?

You mention that you are behind schedule because of SW (software) issues. If you had to choose, and you could not say neither
...
What would you consider worse reason for a delay, and why: hardware vs software?
This is reference to an answer from the other thread.

Can you define: "the truth of launch" and "it could be proven beyond my own word"
What does this mean? What will the launch prove and most importantly how?
What will be the benchmark? Out selling (shipping) your nearest competitor? Really shipping in the original countries now part of the delay?
Thanks for your input.

Because they are prioritizing localization to Brazil over Portugal? Also, isn't this good for you as an brazilian? lol

It is but I guess the delay issue is not localization after all.

lol what?
Doesn't affect me because I live in the US, but damn MS, get your shit together.

Albert while you're asking, you may want to point out that the disclaimer linked from "Certain terms and conditions apply" on the Xbox One Reserve page still shows the original list of 21 countries: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/pre-order-xbox-one/disclaimer

Weird. Not sure I understand Albert's post. So he's saying that he doesn't think the info posted is accurate?

I laughed way too much at this. Damn, MS is really not ready for this launch by everything I've been seeing. What the hell have they been doing all this time?

Pretty much. We've actually come to the point whereby it's what Microsoft says about the console on its own damn website vs what a Microsoft PR employee says on a forum. I'm going to put my money on the former, to be frank. (That, and Gies is sticking to the previous PR line, so I conclude that the website is almost certainly correct)

I think it's very sad that we can believe sites like Yahoo! News more than Microsoft.

He doesn't think his OWN information is accurate anymore.
One could hardly blame him by now, though. Poor Albert, he really should have a tag that reads "All my posts are subject to change".
Don't shoot the messenger though! ^_^;

I don't get this at all.
If the compatibility is grouped by language, then why not include countries that speak any of the aforementioned languages like Australia and Austria for English and German, respectively?
If the compatibility is grouped by country, then what about countries that speak multiple languages? There are lots of Spanish speakers in the US, for example.

I don't know how to put this nicely, Albert, but my trust on what you actually know or what you are trying to tell us (unfortunately there's no way to distinguish between both from our side) is quickly dwindling. How can you, of all people, who is responsible for the messaging a mere 3 months before launch, be caught in this situation?
Can you see how if, even when YOUR understanding requires another trip down to the engineers to clear up launch features and issues, some of us simply lose confidence in the message and the smoothness of the product you're about to launch?

That is a great point. Remember, XboxOne was being delayed due to "localization" for those "non english speaking dialects" or whatever they have been saying.
Fast Forward a few weeks, and now the whole voice recognition will not be available in more than half of the launch countries.
Why didn't they just launch in all the original countries they planned, but just remove voice commands like they are right now with some of the launch countries? That really doesn't make sense to me.

I get the feeling Xbox One is really just a US/UK console. Those are the only places the full vision works, it's really bizarre.
I'm trying to see how this makes business sense. More money from fewer users perhaps, or maybe get the 'easy' countries done first and slowly expand I don't know.
