In any case, there are a lot of reasons for the US having more international success.
The US doesn't really have as much as a margin for loss in other countries. They are never going to make as much in other places as here. Not many other countries are as big and populous as the US.
In their case, I think, they don't necessarily see expansion into other countries as a complete question of dollars and cents as many companies would. There are other reasons why they want to be there.
