I think they evaluated the potential in these places, they figured that spending money on promotion to try to build momentum and enough buzz to generate good sales (I.E. more than they invest in promotion) would not be worth much effort... neither in relation to PS4 sales nor in absolute numbers.

I believe you hit the nail..  MS needs to build momentum in the countries it already have a strong presences.  MS needs the most sales in places where they can actually get those sales.  As we can see momentum is a big factor in continued sales and growth.  MS needs to first stabilize the regions with the most growth and potential first then tackle the smaller ones next if successful.  Trying to win France, Denmark, Germany…you name it but not stabilize the region you are most successful would cost way more.  Let’s be honest, MS winning Global is not going to happen , that ship sailed a long time ago, instead they probably want to gain as much marketshare in the places they are strong to stay competitive.
