Didn't the original Xbox and Gamecube get price cuts 6 months in?

Price cuts happen all the time to spur sales. It's neither desperation or a joke.

and would you define xbox and GC succesful produtcs?

The gamecube can be considered a success because it was profitable.  This is the very definition of success that business lives by.

The original Xbox could possibly be considered a success by some other measure.  Perhaps you could say something warm and fuzzy (but bullshit) like "It was a success because it broke MS into the market".
