Xbox One Landed in Asia in September 2014

It's never too late for good intentions. The Corporate Vice President of Xbox, Yusuf Mehdi, announced that they will expand Xbox One distribution to 26 new market areas. The area includes parts of Europe, South America and the long awaited, Asia.

"Continuing the successful launch of Xbox throughout history, we are constantly surprised by the support and feedback from fans," Mehdi explained from Xbox Wire. "Now is a great time to ensure that fans around the world can enjoy Xbox One too. So today we are proud to announce that home consoles It will be available in 26 other countries starting September this year."

These countries are:

  • Argentina
  • Belgium
  • Chile
  • kolombia
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • India
  • Israel
  • Jepang
  • Korea
  • Dutch
  • Norwegia
  • polandia
  • Portugal
  • Russia
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Singapore
  • Slovakia
  • south Africa
  • Sweden
  • Swiss
  • Turki
  • United Arab Emirates

If you read this list, you can already conclude what the worst news is. That's right, there is no Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand there. The only Southeast Asian country mentioned is Singapore. And for those of you who can't wait, ordering it from there is the best alternative.

But we also have to think about one of the most important things: price. The launch of the Xbox One in the 'secondary' market will probably also affect the price.

Take for example the PlayStation 4 as a rival home consoles this. In the United States and the primary market region, this product is only priced at US $ 399. But when it arrives in Asia and Southeast Asia, the price jumps to US $ 650 to 750. The same will probably apply to the Xbox One.

Unofficially Xbox One has actually arrived in Indonesia. A number of online store sell it from the price IDR 7,4 million to IDR 9,5 million. If it will arrive in Indonesia, can Microsoft offer it at a competitive price for a company? consul which is approximately one year old.

Another thing we should think about is Microsoft's own service support. We may insist on buying it (in various ways), but we will not get full-featured support online Microsoft and services aftersales until Microsoft actually announced Xbox One officially in Indonesia.
