- Without stating a reason, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has delayed the launch of its Xbox One in China, which had been set for release on Tuesday. The company now says the game console will be released by the end of the year.
- Microsoft announced it would start selling the Xbox One in China last spring, after the Chinese government ended its longstanding ban on foreign videogame consoles and games.
- The delay is the latest setback for Microsoft in China, where it is under investigation for anti-monopoly violations related to its Windows operating system and Microsoft Office.
