Congrats on one of the more nonsensical posts I've read in a while.

The 360 hasn't been a success? That is litteraly laughable at this point, especially considering we don't know if the 360 wasn't profitable this quarter there's other devices in the same division. But forget that let's just use simple facts to tear apart your post.

1. The 360 has been BY FAR the more profitable of the HD Twins. Every console and Kinect is sold at a profit.
2. It sell MASSIVE amounts of software including the majority of sales for the big 3rd party games such as Battlefield and COD.
3. It has increased the Xbox brand name is a rediculous amount, over doubling the sales of the original Xbox and well on its way to do even more.
4. It is the oldest console on the market and yet outsells the Wii, could have very well outsold the PS3 last year, and is on track to still a fantastic year considering how old it is.
5. It has the highest selling exclusive HD franchise. Halo
6. It posts rediculous profts from Xbox Live, as well as having the most used best supported online system.
7. It was the first console to introduce a trophy system.
8. It has a rediculous success with its motion periphreal Kinect, getting it into millions of homes and profiting with it.
9. It has universal 3rd party support, every 3rd party developer pretty much has released a game for it.
10. Most important of all it has posted a complete profit, and has recouped some of the costs lost on the original Xbox, while ensuring further success by becoming such a strong brand.

But your right, it hasn't been all that successful
