Microsoft:
Today we’re providing an update to our launch plans for Xbox One. At Xbox, our goal is to provide the best games and entertainment experience possible and the team continues to make great progress on delivering Xbox One.
At E3, we announced that Xbox One would be available in 21 markets around the world at launch. This was an aggressive goal and the team has been working very hard to deliver Xbox One to as many markets as possible.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
At least they are committed to the bigger markets but it is a shame about those 8 markets slipping into 2014
I know what's part of my 4-day Thanksgiving holiday season!!
21 to 13, are they having problems, or just demand?
So the rumours were true then.
Doesn't bode well for MS in those 'second tier' markets as the PS4 will have no competition.
Also, I don't think adding in a free game to those who pre-ordered is attractive enough.
If I lived in those countries and saw the PS4 in action at my friends house and no release date scheduled for the xbox then I would definitely switch.
So the rumors were indeed true? I'm done.
