Forums - Microsoft Discussion - I feel Like Microsoft Should Try to Focus on Places they arent performing well in a little more.

OfficerRaichu15 on 20 November 2014

This isnt me hating microsoft or anything(I am happy its undertracked) but it just seems microsoft is focusing specifically on the US and UK most of the time and not trying to be competitive in like france, germany, middle east, africa, other european countries, etc.

I mean at least try to because xbox one was gonna do good this holiday anyway in US and UK but I fear it could underperform in other parts of the world.

Your thoughts you think microsoft should also get pretty competitve in other countries not US or Uk?

They need to focus everywhere, I don't get why they have given up on continental Europe.

Need more focus in the UK as well, still gets fairly little when compared to how much the US gets.

nah if its outselling ps4 in the uk I think that's good enough but It needs advertising in france and germany  and etc. where it gets killed(like it is doing wii u levels of bad).

Can't say I agree.

If EU, Asia and RotW territories didn't jump ship at the beginning of last gen, they never will

Hmm, I suppose its UK sales aren't really bad. It's just annoying being in the UK and seeing all of the US only deals and promotions they constantly have

I just don't want xbox one to get killed by ps4 and depending on if smash sells gangbusters of wii us worldwide wii u in france and germany, etc.

I want all 3 to remain close( but with 1 ahead) and not dominate each other pretty much

The fact that Microsoft is only concentrating on the US and UK right now is baffling. The 360 didn't get to 80m+ sold with just two countries. I get they want to base their PR around a victory in the US but it's going to look pretty hollow if Sony continues to outsell them 2:1 worldwide. 

My two cents. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

So you would rather they "lose" every generation because they ignore over half the market??
