My Opinion:

Though many would say that waiting for September is be too long, at least it is happening.  There are some major markets on this list that I am happy to see the Xbox One finally coming to.  This will definitely help it compete with the PlayStation 4 in the worldwide market, even if localizing the Xbox One in some of these countries will be a waste of time.
