I am from India and the system costs 40,000 rupees here - 650 dollars here, the same as ps4 and the region locked wii u (surprisingly).
Videogaming is an upper middle class hobby here and not many people can afford it. So sales take quite a while to pick, the highest selling console here would be ps3 for the next few years. However the sheer population makes the Indian market lucrative. So if 15% people can afford it that makes 150 million people!!
On a fair assessment Microsoft really pushed the 360 when it came out but RRoD absolutely killed it. This time are offering quite a few good offers etc. But Sony is the undisputed king as in most developing countries, they have dedicated showrooms etc. Nintendo has no presence here so its irrelevant.
By the way none of the tv features here work, television programming is burdened by boring red tape, so it will take a while. We dont even have netflix.
The new gen should take off only after the first set of price cuts in my opinion.
