The XB1 would hypothetically be expected to get a small boost in each new region during the launch window, but subsequent demand would be no different than it has been in the rest of the global regions where it is currently available.
So would it make a significant difference? No. Of more significance would be holding off on the XB1 launch in the additional (minor) markets to allow those in an alternate state of reality believe by simply redistributing the current available inventory in more markets, it would be seeing the same or similar numbers as its cheaper, more popular competitor.
To say otherwise is essentially calling out MS on their failure to predict the future (overestimating demand for a $500 XB1), and shift unexpectedly unsold inventory to smaller, vacant markets where demand is presumably greater than it is in all major markets currently being served.
But I don't believe MS blew their global launch in such a manner.
