We’ve documented the lack of a clear message in Microsoft’s Xbox One marketing campaign. From used game fees being charged to the decision being left up to publishers and information on the Family Policy that Microsoft is pushing, the Xbox One is quickly turning into a PR nightmare for the company.
Now information on launch countries has become the next target. Or rather, Xbox Support’s lack of information on anything. More than a few users tweeted about being able to pick up the console in a supported country and whether the console would still work if they moved to another country. The response is the same though.
Of course, tech questions are out of the, er, question as well.
@thetalboski We have no info on that. More specs to come soon. ^LB

Given the utter confusion being created as to whether one could pick up an Xbox One in one country and use it in another (despite the information already being available that it is region-locked), and the utter lack of information on the Family Policy and sharing a single Gold account on multiple consoles, is Xbox Support simply in the dark, or incompetent? Stay tuned for more.
