The Xbox One is a MAJOR FLOP in mainland Europe (6,697 units sold post-price cut). We need to talk about this.

X1 isn't an American centric console (Sony have beaten them in US all months but December - low stocks). X1 is a very microsoftian centric console, it will sell well for people that like ms and their propositions and experiences the others are free to take, and a lot of them were taken by Sony with consumer centric ps4.

Well, it certainly isn't European centric. Watching TV through it doesn't even work properly in Europe due to the console being 60HZ and European TV emisions 50HZ. And that was in theory the whole raison d'etre for the Xbox One. That says a lot about how much thought MS put into Europe.

It might not be American centric in the sense that it fulfills American needs... because they failed. They thought they would fulfill those needs. But they certainly didn't even try to create a console that would appeal to worldwide audiences. I honestly don't know what they were thinking.

Do this apply to programation through HDMI? I don't think that should be a problem since x1 works on the television.

And I totally agree that they certainly tried to fill the needs of US costumers and forgot WW as always. But it seems they don't know their audience really well.
