Beasting in every country? I don't think so. And it isn't a $500 console anymore. In fact with the bundled game it's the same price as PS4. So price is no longer a competetive advantage for PS4. In fact here in NZ where new release games are over $100 and the TF Xb one bundle only $50 more than PS4 it means Xb one is now cheaper than PS4, if you buy certain bundled games.
I guess price parity has now been largely achieved and it will be interesting to see how Xb one fares. MS had to achieve some sort of price parity with PS4 before the September launch countries because Xb one would be DOA in those countries if it was still 20% more expensive than PS4. In pretty much all of the September launch countries PS3 beat 360 quite handily, so a more expensive Xb one than PS4 would sell like total crap. Even so, launch week in those countries might give Xb one a 30K boost for the week, but after that those countries will be only good for 5K or so a week. I wouldn't get all excited about how those September launch countries are going to change anything.
This generation, much more than last, MS will be relying on USA to make Xb one relevant. And Market share will be even for Xb one and PS4.
