A lot of wishful thinking from people who don't understand the world they live in.

As long as MS has datacenters in a region and XBOX supports the local language, XBOX will be available there. Via retail if *they* chose to, via online if not.
And last I looked, eBay alone ships to over 200 countries.

XBOX has supported arabic since 2017 and MS has 300 datacenters and 165 points of access; supporting the middle east costs them nothing.

Any availability problems are more likely to be due to import fees than suppliers not wanting to serve willing customers.

But why let common sense get in the way of floating XBOX FUD, right?
