Yeah Msft doesn't really care about mainland Europe anymore. I know the Xbox divisions are getting a smaller budget the last two years

It's a real shame because mainland Europe is far from a lost cause imo. Xbox One has sold over 1.5m in mainland Europe so far, and it's been available for less than a year in some of those European countries. Microsoft could actually do fairly well in mainland Europe this gen if they were to A. match the US price drops in Europe; B. acquire a few more 1st party studios that are in mainland Europe; C. get the marketing rights to and bundle certain 3rd party games that are popular in Europe (FIFA, Witcher, etc.); D. increase advertising budgets some and find better marketing firms to create the ad campaigns in European countries.

At least they're getting C partially right, they've been getting the marketing rights to 3rd party games that are popular in Europe such as FIFA and Witcher, but without A and D those marketing deals aren't being used to their full potential.

Officially the Xbox one should cost 399 € in Europe but most stores are selling them for less. The average price of an Xone must be around 350 € in Germany it is even lower. The Average price for a PS4 must be around 430 €.   Also MS must made a lot of Sunset overdrive consoles because I see those bundles everywhere in EU.



Castle Storm? Meeeeeeehhhh.....

Over here (Portugal), XBO costs 400€ without games... Ps4 is also 400 with 1 game (blood, pes, order bundles)
