Microsoft says its adapting Kinect for smaller living rooms on the continent

Microsoft’s Xbox One won’t be released in Asia or Japan until 2014, the console manufacturer has let slip.
The console is set to launch this November in the US and Europe.

The move to release the console in Asia next year is part of a “staged approach”, according to Alan Bowman, Microsoft’s regional vice president for sales and marketing in Asia, speaking to the Wall Street Journal.
The company has place of this delay down it working on localising content for the Asian continent, while also noticeably reducing the room that the Kinect motion sensor requires, to match the potentially smaller living spaces in cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong.
“We listened to the feedback, not everyone in Asia has living rooms,” said Bowman. “The field of vision required for Kinect is much smaller.”
