without reading the whole thread:
MS actually tries to be successful in America and UK.
In Germany you might see 10 Xbox 360 commercials per year. You see them now in time for the Xmas rush. CoD Black Ops got some ads, but thats it. No Kinect ads, No Fable III ads - nothing!
Look at Xbox Live, here you miss important features that actually improved the service and pushed hardware.
Imagine Xbox Live without
- ESPN
- Last.FM
- Netflix
- Sky
- Inside Xbox / Majors Minute and stuff
and Gears of War was never released in Germany. Sure you can buy it from Austria and a lot of people did so, but it was never in stores in Germany.
I want MS to go for the German or continental European market like they go for the UK and US market. They spent so much money on the Japanese market and managed to sell way better than with the Xbox1, but they have to realise that this is a MUST for Europe as well.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
