Not true in Europe (where most sales would come from). The EU is a single market. No customs, no taxes, no currency exchange, and trying to limit the movement of goods is illegal (Nintendo got fined for attempting this). Large European retailers like MediaMarkt move their HW across Europe as they please and sell it for RRP, so MS not officially releasing in those countries doesn't mean much.
Also, sales in mainland Europe are at about 5k per week. Even if those countries were to increase sales by 20% (more than the Xbox 360 got, so I'm being generous), it would only increase sales by 1k.
Countries outside of Europe are gonna matter even less.
