I feel confident that those extra countries will boost Xbox One's weekly sales by at least 10%, not to mention the boost from first week sales in those countries. We're talking about 40+ new countries afterall, even if many of them aren't big markets, things add up when it's that many more countries.

Oh great, we've got a grammar nazi here. You'll have fun with some of the others on here who are far worse about grammar than me. Personally, I just don't care about correct grammar on the internet, only when I'm writing my novels. 

 

Simply put, expecting a 10% boost from the next batch of countries is pushing it. But even if it does get such a boost, it would be doing so at about the same time that Wii U would be getting its next big game, Hyrule Warriors, a game that is going to appeal to just about every Zelda fan out there, plus most Musou fans. And that game is the start of the major Wii U release schedule for the end of 2014, which has games like Sonic Boom, Watch_Dogs, Smash Bros, Captain Toad, and Bayonetta (in Japan, add Fatal Frame V to the list, too) coming, compared with the last nearly two months, which has had a total of three retail releases (How to Train your Dragon 2, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, and One Piece: Unlimited World Red), none of which even charted, while Xbox One has had a price drop and games like EA Sports UFC (which topped charts) and Sniper Elite III (which was in a fairly solid position on the chart) in that period.

This isn't to say that XBO will remain behind Wii U. But the argument based on launch in new territories is a bad one.

So since you're naming mulitplats should he just rebuttal with the shit ton of multiplats coming for Xbox One this fall? And then add Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Halo Master Chief Collection, Killer Instinct Season 2, Ori, Project Spark and the games that have exclusive content on Xbox One?
