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.

When I say it was a failure, i mean so in the profit making sense, which is what companies are looking to make.
and I'm going to have to go with Sephiroth on this one, he's probably right.
