But the trend will most likely close the gap rather than widen it as the XB1 enters more markets (PS4 is in more markets than XB1 currently).
Gosh, I cannot wait for the Xbox One to release in those remaining markets so this argument can stop. Do people really believe that markets which Microsoft themselves deemed as insignificant, markets in which consumers could likely get the product if they wanted one, and markets in which historically, the Xbox brand has not been strong, will suddenly close a gap?
Sure, sales might be boosted by a bit, but if anyone doubts that a current sale ratio will be effected much by the launch in those countries, they are dreaming.
But, I could be wrong. And if so, I'll happily admit it when the time comes. I just don't think it's going to pan out that way, unless something substantially changes between now and then.
EDIT: Just saw your new post, still, if I'm not mistaken, Sony usually leads in those T2 countries regardless? If so, even when MS releases there, within a few months Sony will continue to sell PS4s at a faster rate than XB1s.
