Xbox One Release Date And Price: In Stores November 29? Microsoft Rumored To Release Next-Generation Console Before Christmas

Microsoft - which is reportedly struggling to get enough units manufactured - will want to keep the launch as late as possible, but still in time to be on shelves for the Christmas shopping, GulfNews reports, leaving gamers wondering if they'll launch the console on November 29.

Sony has announced that the Playstation 4 release date will be set for November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe.

The Xbox One release date has not been announced, but several different rumors point to likely launch days.

Xbox One release date rumors have been spreading since Toys R Us announced the next-generation console would be available on November 29, and now the speculation might have some validity.

When Toys'R'Us was contacted for comment about whether these were simply placeholder dates or if they had a factual basis, a spokesperson replied, "I can confirm this information has been given direct from our suppliers and is accurate," IGN reports.

Last month, comments made by a Future Shop Gamer representative suggested the Xbox one might have a release date after November 5 once "Call of Duty: Ghosts" is released on the Xbox 360.
