The fact that Japan isn't part of their plans at all is just crazy. I figure they'll release it there eventually (they did say recently that Japan was very important to them), but not at launch? Very odd.

Well, since no one but the most hardest of fanboys are gonna buy an xbox one, I don't see the big deal. lol

Those countries not on the list are really lucky. I wish my country wasn't on that list. :(

21 countries out of 190+ can play the XboxNone. Thats just one more nail in the coffin.

I'd heard about the limited international release before, but I didn't know Japan wasn't on the list. I shouldn't be surprised, considering how poorly the 360 did there, but... wow. And the really depressing thing is that there are still people defending (and preordering) this piece of garbage.
