Wait, the PS4 is behind the PS3 launch aligned?
Any reason why? Their economy?
The Spanish VG market collpased a couple of years ago.

Don't forget also very immature and single-minded.
ITT people celebrating the inexistance of any sort of competition in some markets.
In my opinion, sales threads for such niche markets as spain should be banned on GAF. Consumer base is too inmature and single minded here.
PS3 outsold Wii here at 600 price.
NDS was burning HW figures, but then SW sales figures were noexistent due to rampant piracy. Flashcarts attachement ratios were crazy close to 1:1.
I can see a lot of people in this thread that would be happy if MS just cut supply and drop support. Hoping for them the best of lucks with their wishings would sound like a chinese curse.
The salt is real with these kind of posts.
Oh, please. Like Sony aren't doing anything about it right now.
Yep. Most people of USA/UK think that Xbox is THE brand, but outside of UK / US, Xbox has a low brand recognition whereas everyone in germany/spain/poland etc for example knows what a Playstation is. Xbox or Microsoft is an american brand and americans may have some loyality or sympathy for the Xbox brand because of that... But I guess nobody else...
Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Spanish culture (I'm an expert), but immaturity and single-mindedness are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being mature. If you screw someone over in Spain, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Spanish public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase The XboxOne , nor will they purchase any of Microsoft's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Microsoft has alienated an entire market with this move.
Microsoft, publicly apologize and cancel the XboxOne for Spain or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Just to clarify, as an American I have never once heard somebody say they bought an Xbox because it's American. Never once since the original one came out. I'm sure some do, but it is definitley not the prevailing, or imo even a common attitude.
Xbone was fun... FUN!!!

Spain is Sonyland so...
Japan is on Mars I guessJust like the rest of the world, except US and UK. Wait, that's the whole world now! We're living in a Sonyworld!
So many of you seem way too happy about this news...

Same. I bought the og xbox because the games i saw interested me and it was pushing online gaming. But yea no one around me sees it as "an american console so we must be patriotic and buy it." If anything thats one of the reason its selling poorly in other countries. Its a console so focus on its home country that others dont want it.
Nobody in the US gives a shit if a product is American or not. It's lip service at best.
You are a Junior so i guess you don't know but its a meme post.Wait a minute, so a poster gets called out for suggesting that these types of posts are basically fanboy bait (even though he could've worded it better), yet no one calls out the unnecessary righteous indignation, usually reserved for despotic regimes, over a consumer product?
Maybe dr. apocalipsis was right, I don't think I've read a more immature post all day. Congrats, samuraidino.

Microsoft se acaba de disparar en un pie.
No se cuanto de la cultura española conocéis vosotros (yo soy un experto), pero la inmadurez y la cabezoneria son una gran parte de ella. No es como en América donde puedes tener éxito siendo maduro. Si fastidias a alguien en España, solo traes vergüenza sobre ti, y la única manera de deshacerte de ella es arrepintiéndote.
Lo que esto significa es que el público español, despues de oir esto, no va a querer comprar la Xbox One, ni comprará ninguno de los juegos de Microsoft. Esto es IMPORTANTE. Podéis reíros lo que queráis pero Microsoft ha alienado un mercado entero con este movimiento.
Microsoft, pide disculpas públicas y cancela la Xbox One en España, o puedes despedirte de tu negocio.

that really puts how small some markets are into perspective, also how large the US market is.

soo many of you guys seem waaay to sad about this news
;D!
We have one!
Yeah I think it is sad to be honest. I think after all that bullshit last year millions all over the world will never buy an Xbox One, when it's actually now a pretty amazing platform following all the updates. I know it's only human to have bias, but as I said, people just seem way too happy about any sort of negative Xbox news.
Just my view, I'm still a fan of Playstation and I'm happy the PS4 is doing so well all things considered.

1:7? That's hard.
Agreed with all of the above. Plus some posters seem to forget that both Nintendo & Sony dominated in the U.S. with NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, & Wii, well before Microsoft "dominated the U.S." with Xbox 360.
Nintendo or Sony could easily dominate the U.S. again like they had done before.
What? I hope this is some kind of meme joke haha.
Me parece que esa palabra es italiana..

AWESOME!!
if only I cared about what happens in Spain :|

We have to go deeper... Sub-subconsciously they know it's made in China, so they are like whatever and stuff.Maybe, but subconsciously it does have a significant effect.
