If you expected Microsoft to sit down and stop expanding their touchscreen-happy software environment now that it’s clear Windows 8′s aim at touchscreen laptops wasn’t the mega-success they’d hoped it would be, you’d have been wrong. There’s a group called Ubi Interactive out there this week which Microsoft has announced is taking orders on software […]

You might say the day is never really done in consumer technology news. Your workday, however, hopefully draws to a close at some point. This is the Daily Roundup on Engadget, a quick peek back at the top headlines for the past 24 hours — all handpicked by the editors here at the site. Click on through the break, and enjoy.
If we may paraphrase a sacred text, Microsoft giveth and Microsoft hath taken away. Earlier today, the company announced that the Xbox One would be launching in only 13 markets (as opposed to the originally planned 21), but not all news out of Redmond is bad. To allay the concerns some Xbox 360 owners had over switching over to the new system, Microsoft has announced the Season Pass Guarantee. Basically, all it means is that season passes purchased on the 360 will carry over to the Xbox One, provided you own the same game for both consoles. Big names like Activision, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft are on board and have plans on offering exclusive content for season pass holders for games like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 on both systems. The Xbox One may have gotten off to a rocky start, but Microsoft seems keen on smoothing the transition when the console hits stores later this year (for some of us, at least).

Microsoft has been forced to backtrack on its Xbox One launch roadmap, limiting day-one availability to 13 markets rather than the original 21 promised, and meaning gamers in Russia, Sweden, and other countries will now have to wait until 2014 for their console. Blaming localization delays, Microsoft says that the Xbox One will now arrive […]
It looks like the Xbox One won’t be as widely available at launch as originally planned. Citing a need to meet demand, Microsoft said today that its new console will be available in 13 countries at launch, instead of the 21 initially promised. Instead, the remaining eight markets will get it sometime in 2014. All told, those 13 lucky countries include: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand. The other eight — Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland — will still sell it eventually, but for now Microsoft isn’t committing to a firm launch date. For now, all we know is that it’s promised to arrive “as soon as possible next year.” As a “show of appreciation for your patience,” to use Microsoft’s words, people who placed pre-orders in those eight cut-off countries will receive a free game. Feeling consoled, guys?
