No, Xbox brand is dead in Europe and Japan.Xbox is winding down operations in Europe, talk of selling off "non core" divisions etc.MS are obviously not happy with the performance of XB1.

Dead in Europe? Wishful thinking.

Japan doesn't really matter. Xbox 360 was a great success without Japan.

It should also be noted Sony is struggling in Japan. They aren't buying enough Vitas or PS4s.

They do if they want to win a gen. Which is the point of this thread. Do you think MS could win a gen? Marketshare wise? I dont think you answered the question

No.

If the 360 was more compeitive it could have stayed ahead of the PS3. Even being practically irrelevant in Japan.

Now in the handheld console market, Japan is more significant.

if sony bows out and the once sony devoted dont decide to switch to nintendo, sure.



it's looking very bleak for the XB1, the PS4 is going from strength to strength and is almost at the 10 million mark, Microsoft is going to have to put up a really big fight and has to land some very big hit's in order to turn things around but as things are at the moment the PS4's lead is only going to get bigger and bigger.

I agree, but pointless bump.

This is Microsoft last race in the console marked, they have already starting to switch over to window's gaming, and they will ride this gen and next out with the XB1 as long as they can, and hope that most of the gamer's will jump over to PC to continue using their services on PC instead. the XB1 have become a Early access box for PC. It's cheaper and more profitable to be a third part service then to have a expensive marked as a first part serive.

I do have a point and you just agreed with it.  

Sorry if I'm not relegating myself to threads that are less than a day or two active.  Too many get whisped away before people get a chance to see them.  I wanted to express my thoughts on the subject.

Hey, its a free internet. And while I do agree with the content, I disagree with the circumstances, but that's just a matter of bad timing
