It's not only about the price. I don't see any efforts from MS in many parts of Europe to sell XB1.

Why to buy XB1 if my country is not even officially supported?
Just compare the supported countries for PS4 and XB1

Sony list is twice bigger. MS only support 22 out of approximately 50 countries in Europe. They don't even cover all 28 European Union members.
I both my X360 in 2007 and I'm XBL gold member from around 2008. It was not a problem back then that my country is out of official MS list. All you need to do was to select UK as a country of origin and whatever UK users are getting is yours also. Slowly things changed and now I'm really pissed off at MS. You want to buy a game - "Your region is not supported". You want to download free gold members games - "Your region is not supported". You want to pay to renew you gold account - "Your region is not supported". Sorry MS, but I just gave up. It's a struggle every time I need to give you money. I both PS3 2 years ago and although I still like 360 more my next console will be PS4. It's just much more easy to be a Sony customer in Europe.

this is the first time i actually knew something like this happens. very interesting to see where MS's efforts are in these regions. if things like this happen in EU then i guess no matter what happens the PS4 will remain dominant.
