Also, imho, the Xbox 1 was a pretty significant success. It was a completely new brand on the market and managed to beat the Gamecube from Nintendo, a long time market vet, and paved the way for the 360.
It also gave us games like Halo and KoToR which are now part of the gaming culture. Those games might have been made anyway, but without MS, maybe they wouldn't.
Either way, for a rookie console, frankly the Xbox was a significant success. It introduced the brand name and gained significant recognition for its successor worldwide. It also taught Microsoft enough about the industry to be where they are at today. In the big 3.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
