Microsoft have just announced that the Xbox One will launch in Australia on 22 November 2013.
Larry Hryb (aka. Major Nelson) of Xbox announced on his blog:
Today we are announcing that Xbox One will be available on Friday November 22, 2013 in all 13 of our initial launch markets – Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and USA. Many more markets will follow in 2014.
With the Xbox One launching late in November, it will certainly make things competive with the PlayStation 4 releasing exactly one week later. Who are you devoting your allegiance to with next-gen? Let us know!
