Having a console that's cheaper than the competition and good word of mouth goes a long way. And let's not forget that just this past spring/summer that Microsoft had the absolute worst press (deservedly) of any video game company in recent memory. That also goes a long way -- in the other direction. February is the launch of the PS4 in Japan; I take them being "sold-out" with a grain of salt considering that they're probably gearing up for the launch over there.
