You forgot Brasil. From the 21 list the Xbone was delayed in: Belgium In 2010 360 have ~15% of the market share in Nordic countries... so I don't think that is insignificant. http://www.dataspelsbranschen.se/media/117167/nordic%20game%20sales%202010%20screen.pdf |
Yes, and Brazil. Last time it took ages before X360 (and PS3) was officially released in Brazil, didn't it? I didn't mention Brazil though because I thought the taxes there pretty much is killing sales of modern consoles.
About the 15%, I don't mean it that way. I mean that out of X360's total sales, ~80 million, no more than 15% comes from the regions that aren't supported at Xbone launch (Scandinavia, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Rep, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Chile, Colombia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Africa, India, Philippens and a bunch of smaller nations).
Even though it's a huge number of countries, they're all relatively small markets and even if you combine them all, they still don't make up more than ~12 million lifetime sales of X360. So it's safe to assume that leaving them out wouldn't mean much for just one Holiday for the Xbone, only a couple of hundred thousand units.
