International time zones meant New Zealand was the first country to launch the highly anticipated Microsoft console at midnight Friday (1100 Thursday GMT), with about 1,000 people gathering at a glitzy function on the Auckland waterfront. Gamer Dan Livingstone won a competition to receive the first Xbox One, which had been &quot;under guard&quot; in the shark tank of an Auckland aquarium for a week before the launch, encased in a waterproof perspex box. Staff at the Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium said no staff had lost any fingers or toes retrieving the console, which Livingstone said was the first thing he had ever won.</p><br clear="all"/>
