It's because the "for 13 countries" qualifier people keep adding is an excuse, as if the XBone would sell astronomically higher if it was in all those small countries.
13 vs 48 (or 52?) keeps being said over and over as a reason why XBone sales aren't as high as PS4, but NA, UK, and Australia are the only markets that Xbox sells respectably anyway. Think about it. How much of an impact is a country like The Netherlands really having on PS4 sales? Enough to make you keep saying "well the XBone is only in 13 territories" as an excuse for it handedly getting outsold worldwide, weekly? You realize that the populations of countries like Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, etc. are less than the state of California and that many (if not all) combined are less that the US, right? People who keep using using "for 13 territories" make it seem like the PS4 is in 35 more US sized countries than the XBone when in actuality, it's not a level playing field to do a country to country comparison, going purely by the number of countries are being serviced right now. For example, if XBones were only available in NY, but PS4 was only available in Portugal, and XBone outsold PS4, is it really a fair comparison to say "man, Xbone is outselling PS4 and it's only in 1 state and it's beating an entire country! Imagine if it were available in the rest of the US!"?
Long story short, the next time you say the XBone did something good "for only being in 13 territories", remember that an additional country like Costa Rica, for you to compare and say "but the PS4 has 48 regions", has less people in it than Massachusetts
