I'm sorry. There is a problem with my device. I can't quote and write in the same post.
What I meant was 10 million in the last nine months from April to December. But I was thinking they will release it in 50+ new countries (70+ total) combined with an official price cut in the 13 countries.

In how many countries is Microsoft planing to release Xbox One on this year? Because, I really think that they can ship 10 million units in the next 9 months.

Currently in 13, plan another 26 in September (Japan 4th) and rumours of China in July = 40 in total.

Is it really necessary to dig out this nonsense in every thread?

You can buy an XBox One in every (in acapitals: IN EVERY) european country where the console is officially launching in September. You can even buy the XBox One in European countries that aren't even on the list, like Iceland, for example.

I understand that people are frustrated that the PS4 is outselling the XBox One by a good margin on a weekly basis, but this "You just wait when the XBox One launches in 26 (or 50, or 100, or 10000) countries!!" nonsense has to stop. It's very old, it's very false because it happened months ago, it doesn't get you anywhere if you hope for a miracle in sales numbers.

The hilarious thing is people were acting like PS4 would do so well and Sony was so great for launching in additional territories, and like Sony was so much more on the ball. I tried to tell people those territories over the 13 MS launched in are probably 5-10% of sales tops, and it wasn't that big a deal.

LOL, it's just funny now everybody is now agreeing with the same thing I've been saying for MONTHS, in order to again try to make Sony look good but this time in a different way (that X1 sales arent less because of those territories).

Where were you the last six months? I sure didn't see you helping me out back then!

I hate to say it but watching all the Sony fans do a 180 on this issue (from, PS4 launching in more countries is incredibly important, to, now it doesn't matter and X1 wont sell more once it gets in more countries) almost makes me want to give them a taste of their own medicine and start spouting how PS4 has only sold more because it's in 70 countries instread of 13, even though I know better LOL.

kowen where do you see this stock in 6 months? 10 or 20% increase?

I have no idea and I dont really care. I hold MS for the long term as anyone in Microsoft stock should do. They are a great hold.

But a 10% increse in 6 months would be amazing, given where the stock is now. 20% is fanciful... not that I wouldn't welcome it. We arent talking penny stocks here on small caps, we are talking a $330bn business. A 20% increase would be insane in the next 6 months taking the market cap to almost $400bn.

The large stock rises of the last 6 to 12 months are just putting these large profitable companies (like Microsoft) back where they should be, I wouldn't expect a repeat of that unless they smash expectations. This is not like some other stocks where they are in recovery phase and there is room for larger growth.

Havign said that, we know the analysts (and everyone else) ALWAYS underestimate Microsoft... but I dont think they will be that far off.

Thanks for the insight. I have kind of a buttload of cash currently and was looking for a stock with stability around the 10%+ gain area that I could just invest with and not have to worry about. Moving to LA in September so was hoping to use the return on the stock as my travel+expense costs for moving and rent.
