This was linked in the comments. Maybe it meant 2014 for the other regions.

Our priority is ensuring our customers get the best Xbox One experience the first day it is available. To do that, and in order to meet demand, we have adjusted the number of markets that will receive Xbox One in November to 13 markets, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand, in November.

We remain committed to launching Xbox One in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, as soon as possible in 2014.

Wow, fucking lol.

[Correction]

To show our appreciation for your patience, if you have already preordered an Xbox One Day One system before today in those countries, you will also receive a pack-in game with your console when it launches.

It will be World of Tanks, right?

[Mazmaz]

Are these still region-locked? Or did they backtrack that too?

[Tyrath]

I don't think that ones been 180'd yet.

Edit: Nvm guess I'm wrong.

[Ardrial]

I'm pretty sure when they announced no drm they also said no region-lock.

Edit: Found it.

[Mazmaz]

No big deal then

[Carth]

So they're staggering their already abyssmal launch so they'll make sure they don't run out of consoles?

Not sure what to think on that.

[Kaiseran]

I guess they have to 180 all of them that were made before all these changes? Lol

[Tajin]

Dont laugh at MS guys, please.

[Amiricle]

Wonder if their decision to overclock each one is responsible?

No, this is almost 100% on their eSRAM yield problems.

These delays seemed inevitable with all of the last minute changes that have been going on. Had they only changed one or two things I could see them keeping their original schedule, but they have changed so much about the architecture of the system that it had to have an impact somewhere.

[Seiji Okita]

Is this Microsoft's first console launch? Sheesh, they are acting like friggin amateurs. I guess someone up top doesn't like to make money...

can pretty much guarantee there haven't been any architectural changes; policy is enforced through software, not hardware design, and all of the changes they've made are matters of policy. as others have mentioned, this is almost assuredly a result of the rumored yield problems. they're probably not hitting their production targets so they need to consolidate the stock they are producing to keep their largest/most important markets supplied for launch.

[Correction]

I'm pretty sure when they announced no drm they also said no region-lock.

Edit: Found it.

It will probably be the PS3 flavor of region free. Region lock is still an option for publishers who hate money and their customers (Atlus) and user IDs will be separated by region (no buying from the .jp 360 shop with a NA account) but hey, importing is more viable now so yay.

Probably to ensure the NA release goes smoothly? I mean really, are the countries they're delaying it for that big of a base to worry about financially?

[Seiji Okita]

I wasn't really referring to that fact specifically, more this whole launch fiasco in general. It is somewhat sad to watch.
