The Xbox One doesn't launch until 12:00am on Friday, November 22, here in America, but over in New Zealand gamers have already gotten their hands on Microsoft's new console. And the first person to buy one over the counter is a man named Dan Livingstone.
Microsoft's Phil Harrison posted a picture of the new Xbox One owner on his Twitter account, congratulating him.

Yes, review sites have had their Xbox One consoles for over a week now as they toy around with them for reviews. We don't count, though. What counts are actual consumers, the ones who fork over the $500 on a new console. And Dan Livingstone is the first.
