Gamers in Asia will not get their hands on the Xbox One console until late 2014



From Techradar:

Microsoft announced that the Xbox One will arrive in 21 countries in November 2013, but the far east will have to wait longer, as part of the staged approach Microsoft is taking with its marketing. Microsoft's Alan Bowman, regional vice president for sales and marketing in Asia, mentioned select launches in South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Singapore and India during this period, but not Japan.

  Is Microsoft planning to omit Japan from its global Xbox One rollout?
