Microsoft Apparently Eyeing Up Earlier Date Than Sony For Xbox One Launch
By now, we’re all aware that the PlayStation 4 will be available in North America on November 15 and Europe on November 29, but the question remains: when will Microsoft pull the trigger on Xbox One’s launch date?
A source close to Kotaku has informed them that Sony’s biggest competitor could be announcing a November 8 date, really soon. Their source works for a marketing company that deals with American chain Walmart. According to an internal email that lists all of Walmart’s planned midnight openings for games, November 8 is down as when people across the States will be able to purchase their next-gen systems.
This hasn’t been confirmed with Microsoft yet, so maybe they were waiting for Sony to pull the trigger first and then swoop in a little earlier. All conjecture, of course. If Microsoft could, a November 5 launch date in the States would be perfect for them. Call of Duty: Ghosts AND a brand new console would be very appealing to the masses.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.
