However, the system isn't due in Japan until February, so that will diminish its sales for the current quarter by several hundred thousand units (the XBO won't come out there until then either, but Xbox never does well in Japan, so really only America and Europe matter). |
Considering NA is "MS country" and PS4 did so well there I am guessing that in it's stronghold of Europe it can surpass 1m easily in a couple or so weeks.
The timing of the Japanese launch is quite clever because it will give the system another significant sales boost in a few months, more so in a country where it's main opposition just about exist only in name.
