Just a week after Sony’s PlayStation 4 US launch, Microsoft initially shipped the Xbox one to 13 markets back in November 2014: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the UK, and the US.
The eight regions that have gotten the Xbox One release delayed — Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland — are all now in the September 2014 launch window. There are only three Asia Pacific markets to get the Xbox One: Japan, Korea, and Singapore. China is said to get the console this year, after having its console-banning policy lifted last year, but it is not on the list.
Before you get all too excited, Malaysia is not on any of the list. Heck, even the 8-year-old Xbox 360 was never officially launched in Malaysia.
