Well, last gen even though the ps3 had less sales in both the US and UK, it has still slipped past the x360 in sales. I dont think winning a single region or only English-speaking countries will be even close to enough for the x1. And lets face it, the ps4 vs x1 battle is neck and neck in both these areas. 

Those 2 regions are the ones where most games and other medium sales happen.

Also where there are more console online gaming subscribers reside. Where consumers have more will to buy services.

I think MS will be pretty happy with those 2 and a bit of South America.

Well, that might work for MS if they managed to get a comfortable lead in in sales in both those places, like they did with the x360. But this time its much closer round in both those areas and I dont see the x1 building a significant enough lead as you are suggesting. For the same reason, they will get considerably less profit this time around as the greater competition for these markets will likely see them cutting prices and spending more.
