How much will the Tier 2 countries help Xbox One? Some people say the Xbox One did not release in those countries because of low 360 sales however the 360 most likely did 500k-1 million+ in every single one of them.

 


I don't think so.  Look at the platform totals.

http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/

The XBox 360 has done 8.46 million in sales outside of North America/Europe/Japan.  It did 25 million in sales in Europe - the vast majority of which was in countries where the XBox One is already available - the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and so on.

It mostly likely did 1 million + in sales in only very few, if any, of the tier 2 countries.  Here's the list of 26 countries.  Most of these video game markets are very small.

Russia is a big market for XBox.  South Korea is a big market for games, but not for XBox.  The rest are not big enough to register.

Well I worked for a company FNAC (Belgium) and the consoles mostly were imported from Fnac France so those sales are a bit messed up.. 
Retailers possible sold a 2-5K Xbox ones in Belgium but sites like Vgchartz will write down 0 Xbox ones sold in Belgium and would not be surprised it happened in more countries...   Just saying..
