MS really is like "just take the market because we won't even try" to Sony... |
They have a much better chance of growing in Europe than in Japan. They should push the Xbox in mainland Europe. FIFA and CoD marketing would go a long way to getting the Xbox on people's minds. I know getting them on Game Pass would cost too much to be worth it.

Well, looking back at Microsoft's presence at Gamescom for the last couple of years, I don't expect any push in Europe from them. It's becoming quite obvious that their strategy for Europe is focused on selling their games through Steam and GamePass for PC. They don't have an interest in spending resources in promoting Xbox in Europe outside of so-called "major" countries, like France, Germany, Spain. And even in case of Germany, they seem more PC-focused considering how big PC in Germany is, at least from what I know about that country.
As for Japan, quite surprising but it can actually be more interesting market for MS because of xCloud which, unlike PC, is Xbox.
