Consider a huge chunk of those XB1 sales are in the UK, it is safe to say it is doing really bad in Continental Europe.

Well yes... thats 3.2 - 1.6 meaning that the PS4 is at least 7 million to 1.6 in the rest of Europe.

Total sales is 12.4 million means about a 75% market share in Europe.

Um... 3.2 million - 1.6 million in UK (http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/42148/UK/) equals 1.6 in the rest of Europe.

PS4 probably a bit overtracked but still it's causing an onslaught. Nintendo's as dead in Europe as Xbox in Japan.

Well, considering that the WiiU has sold more in Europe than XB, X360 and XOne in Japan combined, that's total bullshit. It also seems like you were excluding the 3DS, which is still doing alright in Europe.

The Xbone has a flat dead line in Japan. Considering it has sold about 60K consoles over there the Wii U in Europe is outselling the XBone in Japan 36 to 1.

PS4 dominating, XB1 doing ok, Wii U absolutely failing. No surprises here.

If we are to believe VGchartz, the X1 is selling at a similar pace the Wii U is. It definitly had a better start, but its definitly not doing ok.

Yeah, the XB1 might do better in America and Europe, but it DOESN'T in Japan. Missing that market hurts the Xbox One's sales.

Japan is a lost cause for Xbox. After 2 gens of trying, even trying to get Japanese games on it, it still is struggling.
