So true, but Xbox One better pick it up in America. Microsoft again won't make a dent in Japan baring a miracle. The real enigma is Europe. I really think Xbox One is going to continue to be snubbed there. They are a bit more discriminating. I believe that if they go with two systems, their market that will choose PS4 and then Wii U. Xbox One is going to struggle mightily this generation in Europe and perhaps going forward. 360 had earily momentum last gen, but being savvy, they embraced the blu ray aspect of PS3 and 360 support eroded. This gen Xbox was late to some of the markets there and at first shackled with the kinect which put them basically in a hole I don't see them emerging from. Nintendos uniqueness and excellent exclusive 1st party games could be the deciding factor. Wii U has a good shot at holding onto second for a while because of Europe. The North American market however, is by far more important overall and since Japan has drifted from console systems... so in spite PS4 thumping the Xbox One in America and Xbox Ones nonexistence in Japan, their is likely enough scraps left for Xbox One to eventually overtake Wii U in global sales due to the American market.
