Originally, Xbox One was going to launch in 21 countries. Now, they limited it to 13 countries which is unfortunate. The reason? They stated that there are many factors that determines the timing of specific launches. Unfortunately, if you're living in any of the 8 countries, the Xbox One will be releasing on 2014 for you. However, you do get compensated with a game; it is not yet released what title it is. Microsoft also clarified that region locking will not prevent people from importing, so if you're in the US, you can import it to any country. The eight countries are -
- Belgium
- Denmark
- Finland
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Russia
- Sweden
- Switzerland

Eight countries have been cut from the list. "While we wish we could launch Xbox One simultaneously in these markets, there are many factors that determine the timing of specific market launches," reads the announcement on Xbox Wire. "This includes work to localize the Xbox One dash, incorporate additional voice and languages, and build partnerships to bring apps and meaningful local content to each country."
