At the conclusion of Microsoft's E3 press conference it was announced that Xbox One would launch this November in 21 countries across the globe, rather than having a worldwide release.
A big reason why the new console will see a limited release around the world is because of Microsoft's original online strategy, where the console would have to connect to the internet at least every 24 hours.
A week later, after much feedback, Microsoft put their online strategy on the back burner, yet the 21 country launch is still in place.
It probably is too late to get the Xbox One out to the entire world by the 2013 holiday, but at the very least, Microsoft has to get their new console launched worldwide as soon as possible.
