Well, all I can do is to say how it's in Germany and in my opinion MS could be much more successful here if they would simply do what Sony does with advertisement and the likes. If MS always acts as if USA and UK are the only markets which count for them then it's no surprise that they aren't successful anywhere else.
As Xbox owner you always have the feeling that MS doesn't care about your market here in Germany, as PS owner you get the feeling that nothing is more important for Sony as your market (and I think it's the same in many other countries).
Sure, PS would be still more successful here but they simply gave everything away as if they don't care and even if they would start to try more here they won't succeed much because there are already so many who own a PS4 that other people will also buy one simply because they know that that's how they can play with friends who already own one.
I mean, MS has the FIFA marketing deal but what does this help them when people think "to play FIFA with my friends I need a PS4"? It's the only deal they tried at least a little bit here but it's totally useless.
When I see more TV ads for a game like Diablo 3 for PS4 ( a last gen port) as I see for Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, The MCC, Ryse and some more together I really don't know what's wrong with MS.
