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.

No it wasn't consoles are just available in a lot more country's now but in the biggest markets sales are actually pretty flat for the last couple of years.

So if you read my post again you'll see that's exactly what I said. Unless MS are content to be focused on those markets...which it certainly seems like sometimes. (X1 reveal)

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.

Some presence meaning 1/4 to 1/8th or even less, compared to Sony in the rest of Europe, depending on country. During 360 times this ratio was definitely better.
