If these Xbox numbers after price increase will be the same for a few months in a row, it's interesting how MS is gonna solve this. It even may turn out that MS will decide to stop Xbox sales in some asian countries. But let's see what will be later.

Microsoft Could Stop Pushing Xbox Consoles In Europe - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)

It looks like they are already limiting the marketing of the console in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Asian countries are likely going to follow that way too. Then the next step would be console sales be completely stripped from all the above when they inevitably go full 3rd party. 

The future of Xbox looks bleak. If NA is the only region where systems are expected to be sold in the near future, there’s no shot Microsoft will be launching exclusives anymore nor will there exist much reason for Xbox to exist. It’s not sustainable and is extremely limiting to only be releasing on a system which has no access to the two other major regions.
