As a fellow European, I think Microsoft has treated non-English countries awful for years and Xbox was always doomed to fail here because of this.

For a microcosm look at the problem, you don't have to look an further than the Foorza community. For example:

For years Microsoft farmed out it translations not to human translators, but to AI and machine translators and the result of that was text in games that was stupid.

This was such a wide spread problem, there was no way Microsoft was unaware of it:

Indeed and naturally, them going after their marketing, communications and HQs in different euro countries was just the nail in the coffin for their presence over there in the end. 

Honestly, that makes it just surprising as to how they even dare to sell their hardware over there in some places despite such the non-existent treatment.
