A positive Microsoft thread? Blasphemy!

X1 might be 3rd string this gen, but it'll still do well enough for itself, not as good as 360, but much better than original Xbox.

Not sure if that's the right reference...the market was much smaller back then.

Outside of the US and UK/Australia XBox is virtually non-existent. That's where they need to work on if they want to become competitive again.

In some regions I don't anticipate they will have much traction.

The UK is around 1/3 of X1 sales in Europe. So they must have SOME presence in other European countries. They've also sold about 4 million in the mysterious other region. So their sales overseas is a bit understated.

I don't know how Xbox can appeal to more people in other countries, but I'm simply saying if they can keep doing about 8 million annually they're in a good place.

I also believe putting Xbox games on PC is good idea because many gamers are not on consoles, including regions Xbox consoles are not popular. So if MS can't get them to buy the console, they can find additional sales on PC.
