Amazon sets Xbox One launch date at November 27

Amazon.com has set the launch date of the Xbox One console for November 27th, despite Microsoft not revealing an official date yet.
On the Product Page of the "Xbox One Console - Day One Edition", Amazon declares that the $500 console will be released on November 27, 2013. Whether that indicates it is privy to official information is unclear though, as it wouldn't be the first time that it was wrong.

The website also has listed the launch date of Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3 Day One Edition, and Kinect Sports: Rivals Day One Edition at November 27.

Elsewhere, numerous sources claimed that Sony's PlayStation 4 (PS4) console is set to launch on November 13.

If the dates are correct, then it should help somewhat with possible supply shortages before Christmas. Microsoft has already warned that its pre-order sales quotes are selling out around the world. Whatever happens, the launch supply simply could not be as limited as the Xbox 360 was.
