<p>Microsoft have announced that their next generation console, the Xbox One will be delayed in a total of eight international markets meaning that hungry next-generation gamers will not be able to join in on the fun until some time into 2014.</p>
<p>In a statement, Microsoft said:<br />
<em>&#8220;While we wish we could launch Xbox One simultaneously in these markets, there are many factors that determine the timing of specific market launches. 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.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Affected countries are as followed:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 16px;">Belgium</span></li>
<li>Denmark</li>
<li>Finland</li>
<li>Netherlands</li>
<li>Norway</li>
<li>Russia</li>
<li>Sweden</li>
<li>Switzerland</li>
</ul>
<p>Could this be another opportunity for Sony to cater to gamers with the PS4 perhaps?</p>
