In that list pretty much.... for instance releasing in Brazil (where you are from I believe) was/is way more relevant than Russia Imo... scandinavia/switzerland is totally irrelevant (sorry guys but that's just a realty, they might even lose money shipping and having customer support in some of those countries) the only 2 that might be are belgium and Netherlands but being not that big either and Sony camps already it shouldn't be a priority...

Being present in historically big gaming country is more important... they make money on attach rate and monetization of services and apps after.... so yeah big gaming countries that spend a lot or more money on game is the sweet spot....

 

I think so far both strategy (Sony/MS) makes perfect sense in regard to their historic brand recognition globally... especially if you believe in yield issues and think Sony produced 1 million more... this makes even more sense then...

I'm sure if MS have supply they will release in all 21 countries and no other will be delayed... even Japan could have a launch in early 2014.

They didn't have inventory to meet the launch in all these countries... there is no strategy or smart move from these delays.

So because Sony apparently shipped more consoles than MS did so far (we don't have any numbers from MS yet), MS has production problems with the Xbox One... Awesome logic you have there.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
