Xbox One November 27 release is just a placeholder

4.7
Responding to Amazon’s November 27 release listing for the Xbox One, Microsoft has denied it has set an official launch date.

“We have not informed our retail partners about a specific launch date for the Xbox One,” a representative told IGN.

“It is commonplace for retailers to put placeholders dates and prices into our system until they are given a specific date and price. We are excited to release the Xbox One in November 2013.”

As Steph noted when posting the listing, it was always an odd date – too late in the month to pip Sony at the post, and well behind the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Also, a Wednesday, which is weird.

That sucks but I still can't wait

I originally thought so. So many people and sites were acting like it was legitimate though. The 27th is a pretty random day as well for a placeholder. It's usually the last day of the month. That threw me off as well. I hope it releases sooner than that, besides for the obvious reason that I want it. I don't want Call of Duty: Ghosts to be out that long for the 360 before I can play it on the One. I think a week after would be fine.

I'm sure this will more and likely be out before COD: Ghosts is out.

I already knew this was fake. Traditionally no matter what happens games comes out on tuesdays.
