Shadow's analysis is as always spot on. When X1 launches in the rest of Europe, boost will be minimal. I even expect thst UK numbers will fall by about 50% of those new sales, because those Tier 2 countries are now inflating British numbers due to imports. The only market in which X1 can count on sales comparable to France and Germany is Poland, as its population is about equivalent, and there are a lit of XBox fans there (most probably already have a British X1). The rest of EU combined has less population than the countries X1 is already available (Ger, Fra, Spain, Italy). Actually, they have less population than any single of those countries. And they are probably a 10:1 Playstation countries...
