If that's the case, why is the One being outsold in both countries it had a strong lead in last gen?

Price. The same reason it lead those regions last gen

Price

So if that's the case, surely the demand in these second tier countries is going to nose dive or be next to non-existent. If hardcore 360 fans aren't willing to spend the extra $100, why would any of those who never cared about the platform in the past bother? Not to mention any hardcore gamers in these areas have surely purchased their consoles from other countries through other means.

Price will be an issue all over the world. But there is definitely enough video game fans with enough expendable money to spend on the Xbox. It will take them years and a bunch of price drops to meet the success of the 360 as it should.

360 sold a million consoles in those countries. It's silly to believe there is no demand for its successor.

Price, and the plentiful supply. I think PS4 is riding the "shortage" wave, and people are snapping them up quickly. For once, a new console is readily available, and I think it killed its "exclusive" aura. Perception that it's not a big deal since it's easy to find.

Tier 2 markets....and they're losing in the 2 markets they had a stranglehold on last generation.

Not only they're losing, they're getting MURDERED

Price?!?!

Yes you buffoon. Most customers around the world are EXTREMELY conscious of price. Not everyone has limitless funds like your corny ass.

The world is conscious of price and yet Microsoft priced theirs at $500 while being undercut by a more powerful machine at $400... Knowing full and well people would have brought a $400 machine at that price anyways and yet still was trying to get one over on people....
