According to representatives of Microsoft, for the first day it sold more than 1 million consoles Xbox One and many resellers shortage devices, which the company has to make in the near future.

A little earlier, a similar statement about the PlayStation 4 and the exact same figure of 1 million sales in the first day was the company Sony.

Recall that the Sony PlayStation 4 will be in Europe until January 2014, and the availability of the official Microsoft Xbox One in our country is still not known.

It turns out that unlike Xbox One of the current console generation is not only in architecture but also in the fact that the console just do not designed to operate in a vertical position. While all the consoles from Sony, including PS4, can work both horizontally and vertically, the console from Microsoft can not do that. Naturally, no one can stop you put the console as much as you want, but Albert Panella, general manager, Microsoft Xbox, states that it will make you “at your own risk.”

The reason for this is not in the cooling system, as many assumed, and Blu-ray drive. Microsoft banal provided an opportunity to work in an upright position so that the guarantee that it will work, no.

Microsoft also claims that very few people put the console vertically – on their data horizontally installed the Xbox 360 as much as 80% of users. Does this mean that 20% of potential buyers will be upset because of this fact? It is unlikely, however, the fact that the console will not be able to put as much as you want, is not happy.

For those who still want to put the console, rather than putting it should be remembered that it costs $ 500 and take a chance on such a price – not the best idea.

The store Xbox Live Marketplace has a new name, a more appropriate new console: Xbox Games Store. As can be seen on the main page of the service, the store page for the Xbox 360 was renamed prior to the November release next generation console from Microsoft.

This was confirmed by a representative of Microsoft – he told Joystiq, that “It is true, Xbox Live Marketplace is now called Xbox Games Store will be located on the site along with the Xbox Music Store and Xbox Video Store. So customers will be much more convenient to search for content for Xbox 360 and for Xbox One, after the last in November. “

In view of the preparation to the output of the new console, various news like the transition to real currency and renaming the store for the Xbox 360 (as well as a fast start similar to Xbox One) is not surprising and, most of all, for they do not run out.

It is possible that Microsoft has a couple of tricks up his sleeve that will truly impress gamers.

A couple of days ago, Microsoft announced that the Xbox One will be launched in 13 countries instead of eight. Although these eight regions are not the main markets of the company, this time Microsoft has little to remedy this deficiency, stating that the game for the Xbox One will be no regional restrictions.

The lack of regional restrictions means that if a user buys the game in another country (eg, the Internet), then it will not have any problems with running it in their own country, so that the price will differ only premium for shipping the game in the country.

Despite the fact that it is very good news for those who live in the wrong area for games, then there are pitfalls. Certain content may not be available because of restrictions on payment of exposed owners. Restrictions apply to certain services such as Netflix or some music platform, but there is one way to get around these limitations – a prepaid card. If you bought a map of a country in which there are no restrictions, the service will not be able to determine that you purchase from a region with restrictions.
