Microsoft has adjusted the number of markets where the next-gen console will be available at launch



From Techradar:

In other words, there are now fewer of them.Initially pegged to release in 21 markets this November, the Xbox One is down to 13. Included are Australia, Canada, Ireland, Spain, the U.K. and the U.S., so fear not if you live in these regions. The unlucky others - Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland - will see the One as soon as possible in 2014.

Microsoft has turned 180s, flipped over backwards and stood on its head when it comes to the Xbox One's bits and pieces, so it's no real surprise we're seeing something adjust on the release front. Granted, the company has months to go before the console is ready for consumers, so some tweaks are to be expected.
