Not that I think this pre order argument makes alot of sense but let's just say this: The US won't be the X1s problem.

Outside of NA and the UK is where the X1 might soon become "doomed"


Halo, Gears and Titanfall are all on one platform this gen. If you're a competitive shooter fan you know where to go. Between the three of those games that spells over twenty million potential copies, per game and I am not even bringing COD or Battlefield into it. Microsoft knows what they are doing. 

If you want a big country where MS has no shot its Japan, not Europe. Europe might be Sony land but they the 360 opened their minds because Microsoft got the third parties to put their games on the 360.

Lol, sorry but that argument is weak. Look at the sales of Halo 4 and Gears 3, of its 9 million sales Halo 4 got 7 million in NA and the UK according to Vgchartz, Gears is similar, of 6 million sales it got 4.5 million in NA and the UK, those games were no game changers for the 360 in continental Europe and they won't be for the X1. And adding Titanfall into the mix won't change that, especially since it's also available on PC and you still have an extremely strong PC market in Europe.

If MS opened Europes minds with the 360, which they did with a ton of help from a Sony who fucked up everything they could if I might add that, then they're closing it again fast with the X1.


We're not disagreeing on the assessment of sales but rather the portioning of (Europe including the UK) and their susceptibility of buying major exclusives coupled with exclusives. Not a very weak argument when 75% of what we're talking about is agreement from your statement. At this point MS is slowly changing their image.
