As for Americans embracing foreign products....... If you look at Apple, Ford, even X-Box sales outside of USA, you can see they are doing miserably because they are bad products. Yet in the states, they lead. Why is that? Nationalism........ Japan is just as bad, I won't argue that, but if you look at where Japanese products sell well, it's all over the world. Nintendo sold the most consoles WW last year, not just in Japan, Samsung (Korean) sells the most phones WW, Toyota sells the most cars WW.

What's wrong in so many levels with that sentence?

Ford: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-09/ford-focus-grabs-global-sales-crown-as-world-buys-small.html

Xbox does bad outside of US/UK because people don't know it as much as US. Simply that.

Misinformation indeed.

Samsung Dominates the Smartphone market with 3x as many phones sold as iPhone

As for Ford - 15% USa Market, 8% European Market

American Products do noticable worse outside of USA, but Samsung leads phone sales WW, not just in Europe. Sony and Nintendo outsell MS in video game consoles WW, not just Japan.....on and on.

Last I checked people in Europe were just as educated as people in USA. They know all about MS and the 360, they just buy better, more reliable Japanese consoles.

Misinformation is what gonna move people away from X1.

In the past 3 years MS studios put more first party studios together than Sony/Nintendo together. This time around Sony IS moneyhatting for indy support that MS was publishing in a great amount.Just now people care about indy? They didn't just appear in February 2013.

First party games being developed by MS this time around is more than others I believe.

For the gods sake. Netflix and Hulu can be better streamed on PC, I don't pay for Live to watch a limited version of Netflix and Hulu.

Has MS made more 1st party studios then Sony? Check. Even then, none of those studios have a proven track record of making quality games. We saw what MS did to Rare, Look at 343 compared to Bungie.... Why do you expect things to be different now?

You're also wrong about the number of 1st party games, Sony and Nintendo have more 1st party games out/in development for the PS4/WiiU respectively then MS has for the One.
