So weird to announce it on some random day instead of a conference/expo where everyone will be paying attention, but whatever.

I'm not sure. The way they are hyping it up now sort of tells me they may still try undercut the PS4 launch date in the US.

It wouldn't make a difference. Everyone buying a console at launch already has their mind made up. You don't make a $400 or $500 decision based on a release date in the same month.

Well seeming as though the X1 is only launching in about 5 Countries in the Eu, I would say it would probably exact same date as US launch.

Seems like a decent date actually, just a week after the PS4 in North America and before the PS4 launch in Europe. A very tactical choice by Microsoft, i am sure the Xbox fans would be waiting for their new console, should be a fun year end:D

Like that's gonna make a difference. Sony is releasing in more countries in Europe, they'll get slaughtered there regardless. How the hell did they give PS4 a week in their most important market the US?

The week difference will mean absolutely nothing in the long run, but a good call to split the dates from Sony.

Why was that a good call? I'm guessing you are in America where it releases 2 weeks earlier?

I mean strategically, it was probably the best date they could pick for a worldwide launch.

I am in the US, but I don't really care that its coming out a week later than PS4. Irrelevant to me.

My apologies sir, I read your original post completely wrong. 

I thought you meant a good call by Sony to split their release date of the PS4 to different dates.

Makes more sense now I read it correctly! Sorry!

$500 for a custom built, highly optimised console with state of the art OS, online system and camera with plenty of proper games

orrrrrr

$400 for an off the shelf console with an outdated online service, no camera and filled with little indie games

Hmmm

release date wars are pretty moot if they're both going to be sold out for the first 3-4 weeks. Might as well be Jan 15 vs Jan 15.

Here's the areas:-

Xbox One will release worldwide on 22nd November 2013, Microsoft has announced. It'll be available in 13 markets at launch - spanning Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the UK and the USA - with launches in other territories to follow in 2014.

http://www.oxm.co.uk/61721/xbox-one-release-date/

So all the main ones covered, except Japan but not many there will care.

More people watch conferences set months in advance than a random press release during a day set 1 day in advance.
