Siri sucks in french. Many of the queries available in english are not there. Query responses are also slower in french especially on a slow connection. The local support is poor in Europe: if you asked for a nice restaurant, it says "sorry this service is not available in Belgium"

Siri is not even available for many european languages. It's not surprising the 4S sells better in english speaking countries.

iCloud is not cross platform. Dropbox has its place for this feature alone. In fact I use Dropbox mainly for syncing dotfiles between my various Mac OS/Linux/Windows machines iCloud just can't do that. The corporate world also lives on Windows and is a huge market.
