alright, i was doing some math to see how many people will be able to buy a xbox one and play games on it. so i went to the german version of wikipedia and looked up the population of the lands where it will be available.

i haven't found good data about the average percentage of internet access in western countries, so i left out that.

Australia 22.485.300
Austria 8.488.511

So all in all, Microsoft only supports ~17 per cent of the world population, assuming everyone of them has internet.

Lol, that's very poor reasoning and I know it was on purpose. That includes the largest video game markets. You're an intelligent guy, I've seen many of your posts and a lot of the time they're reasonable. Why post this rubbish?
