Xbox One Releasing In 26 More Countries In 2014
Microsoft’s Xbox One, which released late last year in the UK and US before trickling out to several other regions, will have its reach greatly expanded by September, with the company’s own Major Nelson having revealed its plans to release the console to 26 new markets in that month.
Sales of the Xbox One will certainly be boosted once the Redmond can get it out to a few more markets, and in September, the company will be busily releasing the console across many nations. As per an official report, the Xbox One will hit Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
The complete roaster of countries in list for is as follows:

Microsoft Planning To Bring Xbox 360 Emulation To Xbox One
The Microsoft Xbox One, which released towards the latter stages of last year, already boasts a sizeable catalog titles. But while those rocking the old Xbox 360 cannot enjoy the cutting-edge graphics offered by the latest machine, the range of games is much broader, and naturally, many gaming fans have appealed for Microsoft to introduce backwards compatibility with those old 360 games. Apparently, partner development lead Frank Savage suggested at last week’s BUILD that the idea of an Xbox 360 emulator is not out of the question, although it remains unclear as to if, when or how such a feature would be achieved.
To an outsider, it may seem like a very straightforward concept that a newer, more powerful system should run older games without too much issue. But in reality, there are several kinks that would need to be worked out before an emulator could be implemented, namely the fact that the Xbox one runs on X86 architecture whilst its predecessor runs PowerPC. Bridging the gap would be both time-consuming and tedious, and even though purists would love to see backwards compatibility, it remains to be known whether the software maker sees any value in it.
On the topic, Savage didn’t rule anything out, tentatively suggesting that plans were at discussion stage. “We’re not done thinking them through yet, unfortunately,” he said, going on to note that “it turns out to be hard to emulate the PowerPC stuff on the X86 stuff” and that while “there’s nothing to announce,” he would “love” to see it happen.
This likely echoes the sentiments of thousands of gamers, stuck with stacks of titles but forced to maintain two consoles in order to play both old and new. The Xbox 360 has no problem playing most old Xbox games, but given the key technological alterations this time around, getting the Xbox One to play nicely with Xbox 360 games will be a great deal tougher.
Given the furore surrounding certain used games polices in the run-up to the Xbox One’s release, it’s clear that the Redmond company isn’t thrilled by the idea of facilitating these kinds of features. With that said,`we also saw during the months leading up to the launch that the voice of the masses is one to be listened and adhered to, and if Microsoft begins to notice the demand, then nothing can be ruled out at this stage.

More than 1 Million Xbox Sold in 1 Day
According to Microsoft they have managed to sell more than 1 Million Xbox one in a day!!!
They had to say
The Xbox One was launched alongside a number of exclusive titles, including Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct and Zoo Tycoon. It also got some cross-platform games at day one, such as Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts and FIFA 14. The future of the Xbox One includes games like Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark and Titanfall.
While the console has hit its first 13 markets, including half of Europe, North America and Australia, there is still no word on when it will be making its way to India. We expect to be available here some time in 2014.
