...I know Xbox One can be found in many of these countries already however the system is over priced because it has to be imported. You also cannot buy games meant for your country and cannot download games from your countries servers. There is no doubt that releasing in more countries will have a positive impact on Xbox One sales. Anyone who doubts it is not thinking straight....

Ok, you have a problem right there, in all LATAM countries the official price of the console is way higher that the imported price I will give you an example for my country.

Xbox One official price (with kinect): 737 U$

Xbox One Imported price (with kinect): 579 U$

Similar stuff with the kinectless model, and the same situation in most (in not all) the countries in the region


 You're right, there are only a few people who still would pick the official one, and the only reason is the guaranty.

I don't see it getting a boost for releasing in more countries, maybe 10k, but that boost would be considered a sucess since the price cut didn't help it at all.
