Because Xbox doesnt have nearly as many territories where it has a history of success like Playstation does.

Europe is and always has been Sonyland, PS1 was the first hugely successful console in Europe and they have been the preferred choice ever since. Xbox has little no chance being successful in Japan with the first 2 consoles averaging about one million each while Playstation has always sold 10m+ in Japan. Also in developing countries Playstation has always been the brand of choice.

Basically Xbox only has America where it can possibly stage a comeback against PS4 but even if it does win America, it likely wont be able to offset the difference in Europe+Japan+Rest of World

Well those territories weren't always Playstation dominated, these things change. Even without them Xbox can do well in new upcoming territories as well such as South America or China. Yeah they won't be as big as the current big ones yet but they can still help out.

Yes they were, Europe wasnt very big on consoles until Playstation released, developing countries have always preferred Playstation as well. Japan ur right but Xbox has almost no chance of being successful there.

They really weren't though. You said yourself Europe wasn't big on consoles before Playstation. How could those places have preferred Playstation before it even existed?

Obviously meaning ever since Playstation came about, those territories have preffered Playstation over the competition.
