Most of its features only work in the US

And do what?

The Xbox brand only does well in two regions that is the USA and the UK(which accounted for the bulk of sales for the 360), the rest of the world is Playstation orientated.

I'am afraid the X1 is going struggle to sell everywhere else, I think MS are acutely aware of this.

Shame though, as I think the X1 is a good console(looking forward to getting mine soon)

Am in uk beta program and have all the features they are coming the trust me and they work pretty good!

A waste of breath! It's obvious that in the minds of Microsoft fanatics, Unicorns do exist, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Bigfoot lives next door to me and we play poker every Thursday night!

This exactly why Microsoft was hesitant about releasing numbers, because although some feel these are good solid numbers for TitanFall and the Xbox1, it's clear Microsoft doesn't share that sentiment! What's really bugging some is the fact that the PS4 still outsold the Xbox1 even with its biggest title to date, and that s coupled with a price drop!

Microsoft knows above all else that Xbox1 is not performing to their expectations, why do you think all this news about DX12, the Cloud, machine side accelerated Ray Tracing etc. etc. is coming from??? There are those who don't mind being fooled, but if most would stop and look at the bigger picture, it would become easier to connect the dots.

One thing everyone should know about Microsoft, they are very boastful! And because of that they show when they are bluffing, and when they are being truthful.

I'll give you one such example; Remember when Sony went on record as saying the PS4 is the most powerful console ever made!? Microsoft never disputed it! But a couple weeks down the line, we started hearing about how the cloud would make the Xbox1 3 to 4 times stronger.

Here's another example; Remember when Killzone released and Sony commented on how well it was selling? Well here is Microsoft response to that! They started talking about how many Zombies had been killed in Dead Rising 3, how many executions in Ryse and, how many overtakes in Forza 5.All the while avoiding the talk of sales.

How could anyone forget how they tried to say they sold through 4 million Xbox1 just 2 month ago, but yet they are just passing 4 million now! My all time favorite is when both released Sony in 2 countries and Microsoft in 11, the one complaining now weren't doing so when Microsoft had released in more countries! And even then the Xbox1 was only leading by less than 200,000 consoles.

All in all, fanatics pick and choose their arguments when they think it helps their case.

@ SniperControl

I tried to respond to your private message but you blocked me (???) so I'll just post my thoughts here.

Why so angry? I must have hit pretty close to the mark in my assessment of your previous comment.

In the PM that you sent to me you said that "UK law states if the item can't be repaired, it has to be replaced by a brand new item, unless agreed before hand".

So, are you claiming that Microsoft broke the law through willful misinterpretation when they instituted their Xbox 360 replacement policy utilizing refurbished consoles? Interesting, as this is the first that I've heard of such a serious infraction. One would think that there would have been a bigger uproar if an official investigation by the Office of Fair Trading uncovered such a malfeasance. I'm fairly sure that MS didn't violate any of the consumer warranty or statutory rights when they shipped refurbished units as replacements in the UK.

I find it curious that your feel that MS is obligated to give you a brand new console as a replacement but you believe that Sony is not beholden to even grant a repair on a defective PS3. A perceived reliability record should not influence policy or negate an obligation to the consumer. You state that MS "had no choice" but to offer free repairs". Perhaps that is true as the RROD issue was damaging to thier reputation with the gaming community as well as their bottom line. By that logic we can say that Sony used their "perfectly good reliability record" (which is not very good if you ask me) to make a conscious decision to NOT offer assistance to those that purchased faulty PS3 units. So, who made the bigger infration...the company that owned up to their mistake and replaced faulty units (MS) or the company that deliberately instituted a fee to repair defective consoles (Sony)?

You should avoid the aggressive stance and use of profanity in your responses. It invalidates a lot of your comments and makes you sound immature. I don't have any issue with you posting contradictory opinions but cursing me out in a PM and then blocking me is simply juvenile.

@stiggs

Are you aware of all the facts, do you know exactly what my circumstances are??

The UK sale of goods act protects consumers from these sorts of practices no matter who the company is, it is the law, all company's trading in the UK have to abide by it.

Any faulty item that can not be repaired with-in it's warranty period has to be replaced by a new or equivalent model, if a refurbished model is offered, the customer must be notified and agree for the refurb.

MS sent out a refurb 360 without notifying me first, I refused it out of principle because the I paid £250 for a new one only 6 months earlier, I understand I would been offered a refurb outside warranty and I would have accepted that, but with-in 6 months of sale, no way.

The sale of goods act in the USA is vastly different from the UK, it protects the consumer and not the corporations.
EA just had there butt's kicked over in the UK courts over the debacle that is Battlefield 4, due to the ruling EA are now have to adhere to refund requests from unsatisfied customers.

I blocked you because I don't appreciate people PMing me and lecturing me on a subject they know nothing about, I have nothing against MS as a company, however there customer care has a lot to answer for.

even at a 2-1 margin in unreleased xb1 countries , ms numbers would raise by 1.5-2 million consoles sold if markets were equal . still a very nice sony lead

@BLED no do some research, those other countries are small like costa rica, it makes up 5-10%MAX of sales you would see 5 k a week maybe 10 good weeks, they would add 500% globally total thats it...x1 is also easy to get in these countries now. Stop the 13 versuis 48 bs.

@Flamingweazel first its 54 vs 13 , and its small markets like northern and eastern europe , all of africa and the middle east , most of south america , and all of asia and the sub continent of india .
