Microsoft has confirmed that not all LIVE territories will have the new marketplace at launch.
Speaking to Strategy Informer in a special interview, Group Product Manager Peter Orullian mentioned how, whilst all territories will get the service eventually, not everyone will have it at launch.
”Our intention though is to absolutely make sure all LIVE markets have the Marketplace. Again though probably not all of them at day one.”
We’re still waiting to hear from them which countries won’t be getting the service at day one, so stay tuned.
