Xbox One will support Live in these countries at launch

4.5
Xbox One won't offer Live in every country at launch, but it has a concrete lineup of Live-supported countries that includes the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and a handful of European nations. Check out the complete list below (image below from NeoGAF).

Without Xbox Live, games on Xbox One won't work in these regions. "Xbox One games are for activation and distribution only in specified geographic regions," a disclaimer on the Xbox One reservation page says.

The Xbox One requires an internet connection at least once every 24 hours, Microsoft revealed in the days leading up to E3. Without that connection, the Xbox One's ability to play games is locked down.

Japan seriously isn't one of these countries? That isn't cool. This is weird anyway. Why won't it be available everywhere? I somewhat understand region-lock, but this is pretty ridiculous.

Anyone else surprised at the lack of support in the Asia market? You'd think Microsoft has just given-up in those areas. (Excludes Russia)

I hope they get rid of the fact that you need to be online once every 24 hours.

Lol so this means that if people from the other countries buy the xbox one, they cannot play it at all because of the 24 hr connection thing. Lolz my friends in Iceland are gonna be pissed.

It looks like they're adding it to the countries that play on XBL the most.
