Microsoft releases Xbox One countdown and news app for Windows 8

4.4
We have been wondering if Microsoft would launch an app for Windows 8 that would help promote the release of the Xbox One, and now that day has come. The company has quietly added what's being called the "Microsoft Store’s Xbox One Countdown app" in the Windows Store.

As the app's name implies, it features a countdown clock which ticks off the days, hours, minutes and seconds before the official launch of the Xbox One on Nov. 22. It also offers news, features and videos from the company's Xbox Wire website as well as an option to find the nearest Microsoft Store retail location

Katsumi An Xbox One countdown seems like a pretty cool idea. It will really increase the hype for Microsoft's upcoming console


I'm sure Sony will do something similar.


They might since they copy everything.


Sony doesn't copy everything. Most of their stuff is better than Microsoft's.


It really doesn't matter even if sony 'copied' them. If one company introduces a good idea then it would be stupid for another company not to follow.
