XBONE to launch only in 13, not 21 countries

According to Polygamia.pl, after Xbox 180° Microsoft had to revise their launch plan. They are saying info from some Microsoft insider is that Xbone will be available at launch not in 21 countries as originally planned, but only in 13. Russia is one of these territiories affected and it is said these 8 countries probably will get console in 2014.

As far as Poland is concerned, Xbone was to be launched in phases and originally for Poland it was supposed to be 5th or 6th launch date. After change of plans now it seems it will be 3rd or 4th date though - June 2014. But there is a problem: recently Xbox 360 in Poland is selling not only worse than Playstion 3 is, but also worse than PSP Street. It all happened after E3 to all consoles, but while Sony machines picked up from bad sales, X360 didn't. To stop this trend, and situation which only could get worse with PS4 coming, it seems Microsoft Poland is considering Plan B and it includes importing Xbox One consoles from some other EU country and selling them here.

The unlucky number 13, Xbox One is doomed

Lets look at this, cause are there any actual numbers showing how many of each console have been pre-ordered?

To expand on my previous confusion over why a thread like this holds any relevance, if this is any other than a sales game thread (its not) why bring any countries that aren't the US or EU? As that is where the vast majority of all sales will occur.

Methinks a better thread would be one about when Japan will receive the next gen consoles as Sony fans would actually be able to hold that up

people learned from last gen.

halo and gears aren't the only games out there...
Since MS abandonded the 360 late into the gen and SONY continued making great games, it makes sense to just get a ps4 because sony is more reliable for providing games.

I wonder if this thread was made in response to the RAM thread?  :lol:
Honestly? Nice source.

The funny thing is that moron analyst said MS would have 3x the number of consoles to PS4 at launch.

:lol:

But i though MS could outship the PS4 by 50%?hoosier7

That was based on some idiots opinion. He obviously doesn't know dogs from cats. 

Microsoft: IF you're not in first world country, you're not getting Xbone

I wish it was just three. United States, Canada & England. I hate everyone else.

Meh, who cares? MS does really well in only NA anyway.

13 tier 1 countries :cool:

1 tier 2 console :(

What a boring pedictable gen this will be for those with a boner for sales.

Apparently many first world countries, like mine, are not getting the console aswell!

Lemms have been silenced once again.
