It's never nice to be told you're a second class citizen, which is probably why Microsoft was reticent to mention when the Xbox One would launch in Japan. When 4Gamer cornered Yasuyuki Higuchi for answers, Redmond's Japanese VP conceded that the country was "tier two," and that the hardware wouldn't arrive there until 2014. On the upside, he did promise that the tier two countries would be waiting long after the North American release, but that's hardly going to sate early adopters with an eye on the local hero.
