Forums - Microsoft - Time : Xbox One to Launch in 29 New Markets: Why It Matters

Nearly every country listed isn't doing well economically, and if their gaming citizens can afford a new $400 game console they have already bought a PS4 or even a WiiU. X1 is late to market on a similar, non must have luxury item [to these countries] and will never catch up to the leaders. Tardy to the 8th gen party!

Hmm after the FW bump from respective countries I hope the new countries can give the Xbox One at least a 10k weekly baseline boost.(Granted we probably won't know for sure since the holidays are fast approaching!



Well I have one friend that pre-ordered the Dutch 399,- Forza 5 + Fifa 15 bundle. Pretty decent deal. He mostly plays on 3DS and PS Vita though and he said he'll get multiplats on ps4. +1 sale either way!
I'm holding out for a FH2 bundle to complete the set (of consoles, handhelds are not my thing)

No.

Yeah, I kinda laughed when I read that! I mean, since when do countries like Argentina and Sweden have " enotmous sales potential"? They are tier-2 countries for a reason!

The US is the only country that seems to really care about the Xbox this gen. Sales may help a little at first, but i feel they will drop off before they even get momentum.

OT: Yeah, hopefully those 29 extra territories will give the One a decent sized boost.

they're already in those countries and have been,just not officially. an official launch may add a little bit more awareness....
