Phil Spencer udtaler sig om udskydelsen af Xbox One

Som bekendt så er Xbox One allerede ude i 13 lande, og salget går ganske godt. Desværre så valgte Microsoft at udskyde udgivelsen i 8 lande, heriblandt Danmark, som ellers var med i den oprindelige lanceringsplan. De øvrige lande som Xbox One endnu ikke er udkommet i er: Sverige, Norge, Finland, Belgien, Holland, Schweitz og Rusland.

Phil Spencer har snakket med OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) omkring hans skuffelse over at de valgte at udskyde lanceringen i disse lande, her er hvad han sagde:

I wish we had the global coverage that we originally announced when we stood on stage at E3. I stood on stage and talked about 21 markets.

It never feels good to stand on stage and talk about 21 markets and ship in 13, but it's a journey, and it's not won or lost the day after launch. It will be something that plays out, so making sure the quality of each market when we ship is the important part.

There were things around the voice models and other things we needed to make sure were right in order to really build a box that felt native to the markets we were shipping in.
