Hope you aren't serious.
Pre-orders would indicate that people in the US do indeed want the Xbox One. Quite a lot actually. And why wouldn't they? It's a great console which really can do just about everything the PS4 can.
By all fair measurements, those are totally equal systems in their value proposition. So let's just skip the whole "Oh xbone suckz" mentality because it's getting a bit old.

Seriously though, I want to be a fly on the wall of some of their meetings. What on earth are they doing? Are they panicking yet, or are they just sort of blundering through all this controversy?
Huh. I remembered it wasn't coming out in Eastern Europe at all since they chip the consoles and pirate so much there, but I spy Russia on the list. Oh well. As a Swede this doesn't bother me. Wasn't going for this console anyways.
whats's going on with team M$, did they lose a bet? or is it a bet to see how shitty the XBone can sound yet still sell ?
To be ticked off people would have to want an Xbox One in the first place, and in this thread I see no one wanting the Xbox One.Arnoxthe1 said:
No what you're actually reading is people laughing at how bad Microsoft is handling their brand new system launch coming in 3 months.
And "technical issues" is a very polite way of saying the system is frying it's insides and not understanding people who speak "non-American".
Damn, Australia's still on that list.
Fuck off, with your netflix that we can't use and skype which we can use on our computers and your ridiculous amount of ads.

I'm not even sure what to say at this point. When I imagine Microsoft HQ I see a bunch of fish desperately flopping around to get back in that water bucket, then knocking it over.
Good luck trying to find a place that still offers pre-orders.dakkster said:
My local games shop has a couple of Xbone ads but no PS4 information, mainly because they can't guarantee that they'll get more stock to cover anymore pre-orders.
I doubt they're delaying in the excluded countries just for the fun of it and/or because they like bad news. Not a good thing either way, but better they announce it now then fuck up trying to do something they can't handle come release and look even worse.Morsomk said:
It's like they're doing it on purpose. It's like Microsoft has some diabolical plan to somehow dominate the planet and their apparent _failing_ is just phase one....
Oh that dualism makes absolute sense, ignoring the fact that Microsoft's recent changes to their policies, in direct reaction to consumer complaint, is probably the biggest and most rampant examples of a company responding quickly to consumer views in the history of this video game industry.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
But yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, it's not like Microsoft actually listening to consumer has to say counts as listening to consumers because it's Microsoft, right?
Being a pc gamer, I can not honestly give an objective opinion on the whole ongoing console war, however as a consumer my problem is not with the console itself (seeing as they went back on most of their policies that were going to be implemented with this console - such as DRM, their policy on used games etc.) spec wise they are more or less on equal grounds, so I actually have a big problem with the company's policies, rather than the console itself.
Mmmm can we just say now official that the Xbox One Launch is worse then the PS3 launch. I mean those who remember 7 years ago that was pretty horrible. But this is worse!
Only 13 countries get it at the start. Only 13.. that is painful. I mean we don't know how long it takes them to also launch their product in other countries. And with the stories going, well pre-order numbers at Nedgame and Gamemania from holland being 4:1 slanted to Sony they might lose Holland. We haven't heard about other european countries yet of course.
But this might very well be the time that microsoft loses the majority even in america. How are the pre-order numbers there?
