Xbox One, Planet Muck, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Crimson Dragon, Dead Rising 3, FIFA 14, Fighter Within, Forza Motorsport 5, Just Dance 2014, Killer Instinct (2013), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LocoCycle, Madden NFL 25, NBA 2K14, NBA Live 14, Peggle 2, Need for Speed Rivals, Powerstar Golf, Ryse: Son of Rome, Skylanders SWAP Force, Watch Dogs, Zoo Tycoon (2013), Zumba Fitness: World Party

The Xbox One's release date has been set for November 22nd in 13 countries.

After a long wait as gamers looked on with bated breath, Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi has finally announced the day of their Xbox One Console release in its 13 launch territories, and that date is November 22nd 2013! This is one week later than Sony's North American PlayStation 4 launch on November 15th, but one week before its European launch on November 29th. Hopefully this strategy will pan out for Microsoft, who have been under scrutiny for waiting so long to announce the release date.

The Xbox One will be launching in 13 territories worldwide: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and, of course, USA. The system will be launching with the following games:

    Poor business decision according to me. Those who didn't preorder until the release dates were announced or didn't preorder at all, will be leaning towards the console that's coming out first as the day one games are almost identical. And also the people in America and Canada who are getting a ps4 can play the next gen games on a next gen console before X-box One owners.
    I may be coming off as biased and a fan boy but I assure you that's not the case. I'm a big fan of Halo and gears of war.
    These are just my two cents.
