Xbox One Set To Launch On November 22
Dave Knott writes "Microsoft announced today that its upcoming Xbox One console will launch later this year on November 22 in 13 territories, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States. This is exactly one week after the announced street date for Sony's PlayStation 4, ending speculation about whether Microsoft would try to launch ahead of their closest rival's next-generation console. It is also the same day that the Xbox 360 launched in 2005."
The supply of pre-order consoles is mostly exhausted already.
I might take a break from my PS4 just to laugh at the MS FanBoyz. I hope they enjoy spending their Microsoft Fun Bucks, I mean cash on avatar "clothes".
I have a 360 -- the last Xbox I'll own until MS pulls their head out of their sphincters.
Yeah, right.
Playstation has beat Xbox to market by one week... in North America. In the rest of the world, which admittedly doesn't matter shit and would be best bombed out of existence, Xbox is beating Playstation by one week.
Yes, 15 years ago MS was "evil" for bundling a web browser with an OS at no extra charge (the horrors!)
You obviously don't have to work with anything on the web, because the pain inflicted by Microsoft on the countless web developers over the years is still fresh and ongoing for many. There are quire a few people who are only a few more "It doesn't work in IE6"s away from a murderous rampage. That's also ignoring everything else Microsoft has pulled in the 15 years since.
Sony crippled their own products *after you had already bought them* and you call them *less* hostile? You're either insane or very, very biased. Sony are playing you for a fool, and you're lapping it up.
I have yet to see anyone say Sony is an Angel, but the truth is most people didn't use the Other OS feature, and for those that didn't the change didn't do anything to cripple what they use the PS3 for which is usually either watching movies, playing games, or both. There are things I don't like about the changes Sony has made over the life of the PS3, but frankly, Microsoft seems to be worse in just about every way that matters to me. On the other hand, calling someone an idiot, a fool, and insane for not agreeing with your opinion is juvenile and belligerent.
Fanatically anti-fanatical
