Xbox One To Launch On November 22nd In 13 Countries

Briefly: We’ve known for some time that Microsoft’s Xbox One would be launching sometime in November. Today, Microsoft announced just which day the launch will occur.

The Xbox One will hit 13 countries, including North America, on November 22nd. That, of course, is just one week after the launch of Sony’s Playstation 4.

The full list of launch countries consists of: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand.

Microsoft has also revealed that the final build of the Xbox One will feature an improved CPU speed. The 1.6GHZ CPU has been bumped to 1.75GHZ, which should amount to a near 10% performance increase.

I can only afford one console this November, and I’ve chosen to get in line for the PS4 on November 15th. That being said, I won’t lie to myself and pretend that I won’t end up with an Xbox One at some point too! Which console will you be picking up first? What launch games are you most looking forward to? Sound out below!
