XBox One WILL NOT Work in Every Country

Many of our users such as Under_The_Mayo have expressed concerns due to internet problems in their countries, but now Microsoft is saying that many countries won't even be able to use the device at all.
The map in the article above shows that some pretty major markets will be left out. Among those who will not be able to play XB1 are China, Japan, Greece, Argentina, and the entire continent of Africa.
What do you all think about this? Is it acceptable to do this? Will this doom XB1 to failure?
Discuss.

Sounds like good business. If you're not up to stereotypical American standards, you deserve to be left behind...

is what I would say if I were a mindless twit.

Face it guys...Xbox just keeps getting better.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Honeychild, I would slap these guys.

They are so stupid like you don't even know.

 

[Rampage254]

I--I can't even troll Xbox One anymore. They're already dead.

Stay positive!

Even most americans arent up to sterretypical american standards. I'm mostly shocked that they had the balls to exclude and entire fucking continent though. In fact, if russia werent so damn big they would have excluded THE TWO BIGGEST CONTINENTS IN THE WORLD O_O

What will be in Microsoft's future now? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball Z!

*Time gap*

And on this episode of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai, Halo 6 is nearing release on Sony and Nintendo consoles. Meanwhile, the Killer Instinct community enjoys great success on the PlayStation 4 and Wii U.

 

[GamerBlake90]

We are already aware of this. I think I saw another thread where this topic was blowing up.

Nevertheless, this is ridiculous as fuck. One of the biggest drawbacks of requiring the Internet for a console to even run.

[Alien Substance]

I think it could be possible. With how these guys are fucking thinking, do you believe it is that far-fetched?

It doesn't concern me much either way.

 

[MrAvA]

Whats worse they use high power PC during E3 and act like the xbox one is so superior.

Similar topic was mayo's about bad internet and some regions in his country not even having internet yet. This is a licencing issue. This issue is that microsoft wont even sell to the two biggest continents on the planet and a lot of other countries with gaming communities like argentina and greece

 

[Rampage254]

Sega where are you?

 

[miloPKL]

do you think microsoft know what they are doing?

 

[JaredL]

If you get banned from XBL... you can't play games at all.

 

[Alien Substance]

do you think microsoft know what they are doing?

They certainly know what they are doing, but they do not know the possible consequences, nor do they probably know if their ideas are good to their consumers.

 

[ShanxterX]

No big deal...they are not loosing on much money...China has only 2 BILLION people...it is ok

 

[DoctrineDark]

Also Chile, but supposed to be available in 2014...
when in my country did not exist xboxlive-Chile service we all had foreign accounts and we could play without problems, buy content online and access all features of xboxlive, will this happen again with xbox one?

[SilverKeyMan]

Microsoft must be wanting out of the video game market, and this is their idea of a smooth exit.
