[quote]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.[/quote]
Wow, gee thanks MS... Then again, wasn't getting one.
So goes the idea of them doing the whole entertainment schpiel to get past China's games console legal stuff.
so what will your xbox cease to function if you have a "tv on a table next to your bed" kinda situation? because you're too close lol

This is like some sort of dystopic nightmare[/quote]
The whole Xbox One and Kinect are like some sort of dystopic nightmare.
Not even Japan, wow.
Seriously, what are they thinking? And didn't one of their marketing guys believe or hope that they would sell 1 billion units?
Holy fuck are they serious?
Asian Countries not even on the list
Russia is not in asia? A big part of it is in asia.
but yeah no japan
[QUOTE=TAU!;41004875]Seriously, what are they thinking? And didn't one of their marketing guys believe or hope that they would sell 1 billion units?[/QUOTE]
Yes they did. One billion. It's not even 100 millions which would be believable after a few years.
Rest in peace Poland
Xbox One master race. Literally. No asians allowed.
No South Korea? Haha wow good job
[QUOTE=ashxu;41004865]Not even Japan, wow.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps that reason is because the 360 didnt sell well in Japan? If you see how many 360s were sold in Japan you can see why they're not bothering with the Xbox One in Japan, Nintendo as a firm grip currently in Japan and pretty much controls the market there.

Japan probably doesnt even want that shit, seeing how they got the very best deals from Sony and Nintendo right at home.
[QUOTE=ashxu;41004865]Not even Japan, wow.[/QUOTE]
Xbox 360 was so ridiculously undersold and underused in Japan that I don't even think they'll bother with the Xbone.
But this is weird because, these are the countries right now that Xbox Live supports

4 feet of space? So much for using a computer monitor if I were to ever get one of these. Which at this point I'm most likely not unless someone hands me one for free.
You can turn the telescreen down, but you can never turn off the constant anti-eastasian propaganda
:v:
But in all seriousness I'm guessing these will be the countries supported at launch and more will be added in time
And obviously the recommended minimum playing space is for the games that actually use kinect you idiots
No love for the Baltic states. :(

It would have something to do with their cloud AI service and other like services - a requirement for lower latencies.
[quote]The Xbox One won't launch until late 2014 in Asia and Bowman only mentioned Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and India, He stated those are the fastest growing markets for video games in Asia right now.[/quote]
[quote]The Xbox One Kinect sensor will also be fine tuned to suit the Asian market. Living spaces are smaller in the region and the room size requirements will be "dramatically reduced."
"We listened to the feedback, not everyone in Asia has living rooms," said Mr. Bowman. "The field of vision required for Kinect is much smaller."[/quote]

Guess this sorta explains the absence for some Asian countries not getting Xbone Live.
Just to clear it up, 1.4m is recommended space. There's no requirement, but I imagine it's simply for the games that use Kinect.
Or maybe I'm not clearing anything up right now.

well, at least they're thinking about stuff like that instead of just taking the fuck off route and giving them a sensor that doesn't work
wish they'd apply this attention to detail to, you know, everything else :V

i thought the kinect was going to be used to determine the number of people in the room playing the game, or was that just a rumor?
no estonia what
It reminds me how Live wouldn't let me log in after I made an account for GTAIV PC with Poland as my country of residence because they didn't support it.
Like, why even have it as an option
fuckers

Given that you need the kinect just to turn the sodding thing on I wouldn't be surprised if very few games work properly if you don't have the recommended space AND sit in the recommended spot.
Which is fucking stupid.

Last I heard that was to be used to bump your netflix rental costs up sevenfold. Rather than just renting for you, it would use the kinect to count everyone watching and charge once [i]for each person on the couch.[/i]
Which is also fuckin' stupid.
Hmmm so when I am in the Czech Republic I wouldn't be able to use my xbox
if I was dumb enough to buy one
Well maybe this only applies to Japan, but I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft didn't bother there since nearly everyone in Japan always buys Nintendo or Sony
