Crowbar Man Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I don't think any console manufacture releases games there, but I could be wrong. I would imagine most armed forces would bring their games / have them shipped to them. The bigger issue is the probable lack of internet :/ Edited June 12, 2013 by Crowbar Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Xbox One-Supported Xbox Live Countries Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Italy Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Norway Russia Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom United States There is a certain country they seem to have left off of that list.

Crowbar Man Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Not many consoles get released in China at launch... or ever. But wow I didn't even notice Japan was missing off that list! That is a pretty huge thing, is MS just not releasing in Japan? Bizarre EDIT: Found some articles that state they don't plan on launching in any Asia territories, including Japan, until "late 2014" Edited June 12, 2013 by Crowbar Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre EDIT: Found some articles that state they don't plan on launching in any Asia territories, including Japan, until "late 2014" There are roughly 100000 Military men, women, and dependants that live in Japan. They cannot play Xbox One. This is similar to region lockouts for DLC that happened to me when I lived in Japan. I was on the phone with MS for nearly 8 hours trying to get an explanation as to why there was no support for APO addresses, as well as not allowing me to download XBLA games.

EC2151 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The United States is the only country in the world where the Xbox actually has a chance to sell - Europe is a lost battleground, and Japan gives less than two fucks about MS already. Why bother to release the Xbone in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I suppose you really do have a point, Charlemagne. Even though the 360 had a lot more RPGs than the PS3 at the beginning, it still didn't sell much in Japan. I guess MS just gave up on us. . .heh heh heh.

jnWake Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The list also mentions only one south american country. It's supossedly coming to my country but there's no point on it being so expensive if half the features are not usable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 "We have a product for people who can't get online, it's called Xbox 360" - Don Mattrick can someone hurry up and fire this guy, on top of being a huge assclown he is rubbing everyone's faces in the dirt. i wouldn't buy an xbox if my only reason was 'don mattrick is an asshole.'

Why would they want big brother in their house anyway? Microsoft is Pro Spying Pro dumbed down citizens (common core) and Anti Citizen if some of the MS disasters are any barometer to go by. PS4 is the winner of this round before the war even BEGINS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 SO, after the overwhelming positive response to sony at e3(seriously, I've never seen anything like it before), plus the majority of the press praising and supporting them while openly mocking microsoft, plus now EA coming out and publicly stating they didn't lobby MS on the used games/online requirement crap thus placing the blame on this stupid plan on them, who else thinks microsoft will change their policies before launch? Without the online requirement DRM for offline games and enabling used games, I feel a lot of gamers who decided to switch sides could come back. But the price point and the requirement of kinect which the overwhelming majority of gamers aren't interested in will still affect them a lot, specially the price point. I think Sony is in a great position to win this generation by far even if MS backs down on its bullshit. If they still go with this and don't change their policy before launch, well, I see them doing much, muuuch worse than the ps3 did at first in this generation. Remember Sony was just as cocky and delusional as microsoft is now, but they didn't have such a shitstorm around them at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Basically, I wanted the Xbone to be what the PS4 has been announced as being... Lower price, better features, no ridiculous spying. It's a huge disappointment that they think any (older person) will actually be interested in this. But they might have the young Call of Duty audience on board.

lazygecko Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If all the major PC DRM/Authentication fuckups are anything to go by (Ubisoft, Sim City, Diablo 3) it's their own servers you should be more worried about than your own connection. If there's a problem on their end it won't even matter if you have internet or not. And I have no doubt their servers are going to be compromised out of sheer spite, as there are already precedents for that happening.

I think it's safe to say microsoft is currently delusional enough not to see that Anonymous and similar groups are going to go after their servers as soon as they are up just to show people how fucked up is paying 500 dollars for a plastic brick. This kind of crap is what they live for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Which is funny because it's not like the PS4 isn't also getting Call of Duty. I think the Xbox CoD scene is more notorious mostly because a microphone is included, whereas on the PS3 one was not. So maybe there were kids calling you racial slurs on PSN but you never knew because you couldn't hear it. I'm gonna get Call of Duty: Ghosts on PC, so eh. The point I was making was that I don't see the Xbox One as something that appeals to us seasoned gamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Splint Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I really really want to shitkick all the morons that are pre-ordering this thing; they are choking any chance we had of making Microsoft pull their collective head out of their ass. I know a lot can change before the release and even after, but still...don't give them any momentum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 And then this piece on used games vs. excessively high game budgets happened. I'm glad I'm not the only one banging the drum on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
