Microsoft has just confirmed that its retail network now has 83 stores, with plans to continue opening new locations next year, as more important products are on their way.

“Over the past 12 months, we opened 35 stores and now have 83 full-line and specialty stores open across North America. We have welcomed more than 362 million customers to our full-line, specialty and online Microsoft Store properties in more than 200 markets worldwide,” the company said in a post.

At the same time, the company has also announced that three new stores will open in early 2014, as it wants to continue its efforts to bring products closer to buyers.

• Square One Shopping Centre, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada • Westfarms, Farmington, Conn. • Westfield Garden State Plaza, Paramus, N.J.

Microsoft is also rumored to be working with several partners to open stores on the Old Continent, with London believed to be one of the locations currently on the table.
