Yes, it's very likely the XBO is the lead in official sales here in Brazil.

Not the most popular/owned console here, though.

The 360 was WAY stronger than the XBO is here.

Are there any estimates how big the import is? I imagine they get imported from the US. Could moving those sales to South American countries maybe put XBox One in the lead in the US?

 

I have no idea. It's really hard to track imports and I don't know of any company that does (apart from a Chinese company for Chinese market). 

Sony and MS probably have a pretty good idea what their active user base is. Not hard to see which consoles get activated where, and the percentage of consoles that never get activated online.  It doesn't make a difference on a global scale, yet globally in the US :)

Anyway it's just the flip side of the coin when an article like this

gets refuted by import sales. Gotto come from somewhere.
