At launch, they will launch in other countries later down the line so it's not an automatic loss of market share by any means.  Save your celebrations for actual figures.

Can you stop with the personal snipe? This conversation would be a lot more enjoyable without it. I don't celebrate MS 'losing ground' anymore than I celeration Sony 'gain'. As it stands MS is launching the One in less country than the 360 and presumable the PS4 (which has a stated goal of all Europe and NA). That is a lose in market share, because it allows the PS4 to gain more traction. The PS3 had the same thing happen to it this gen when it launched late - it lost market share, how much they lose depends on how long they delay is, who knows? Maybe they will add more of Europe to the launch cycle, they did put a caveat down that the launch country is subject to change, we only have so much info to work with.


This is the problem I have you see.  We have no information on numbers of launch units yet and specifically what regions.  We have no idea of the ACTUAL launch date yet for either console.  You're already trying to state your opinion will be a fact which given how far away the launch is and the information that is available its simply not possible to declare with any certainty.  Sony might be targetting Europe but lets see if they actually get the consoles out there before we start celebrating them outselling the XBO.  

Your post "That's auto lose of market share." was by no means correct in the assumption it was automatic as you do not have that information to make the claim.
