Damn, my country is seriously overcrowded.

I'm sure the lands of the UK are more fertile than Australia.

And we on the other hand could do with more people for such a huge land mass we have here. We would welcome you Brits!

Most of this huge land mass is not habited. So, no we do not need more people.

You don't need more people maybe, but I'm sure that one extra guy is not going to shatter the fabrics of Australian scoiety.

Well kinda yes and no here.. We have huge areas of what would be considered with adeqaute ranfall averages (east quarter of Aus- and much farming in these areas) prob the size of france, germany, uk etc put together and then some. Only issue is that it is highly variable with some years too much rain and others not so much. Overall tho there are many fertile regions of the county such as east coast, Tasmanaia etc. Unfortunatley we have very strict immigration policies. I think we could easily sustain millions more in popluation.

So, who will be that one special guy to be allowed to get in?

I live in Canada myself, another country with a large area and small population density. I live in what is called the Windsor-Quebec City corrider, which takes up a miniscule portion of Canada's area, yet has over half of the country's population. Outside of this area, with the exception of some concentrated areas such as Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, etc., there is vast nothingness.

What's strict about the immigration policies? It's definitely not as strict as the US or European countries.

Looking at the demand right now I would not be suprised if the Xbox One X outsells the PS4 Pro.

Obviously the PS4 pro is only 1/5th of the sales of the PS4 brand I think and the Xbox One S will never outsell the PS4 but just looking at reviews, interest and also on who I know that are picking it up the Xbox one X is concidered the "better" 4k console and people with 4k television who already own a PS4 are quite interested.

Anyway, only time will tell but I do think the Xbox One X has a chance to suprise and reach that 2 milion mark after 3-4 months on the market

The numbers you are expecting are absolutely ridiculous. You seem to be making the mistake of looking at two or three countries where preorders are strong and forgetting that these are the only major markets where X1 is remotely relevant (and Australia isn't major). It will not outsell the Pro because the Pro is a PS console and as we have seen, PS and Xbox are working at completely different levels. 

And 2 million in three or four months? How many Xbox One consoles are you expecting to be sold overall in this time period? 10 million? That estimate is increbily out of line with reality.

Basing an estimate on an estimtate that is based on an estimtate. Mh. Seems legit.
