XBox One is nowhere near the disaster the PS3 was early on. MS will probably be making a profit on each unit from day 1 for starters.

In what terms was it more disasterous? You seem to be blending all things together. PS3 wasn't anti-consumer at all. As a customer, I wouldn't think much about whether the company makes profit or not.

PS3 was selling at a loss and it offered free online gaming. These policies might have been harmful to Sony, but they weren't to us, gamers. Why should I care about how successful the console was to Sony when they're giving me anything I'd ask for?

 

And the Xbox ONE isn't even out yet, you're making a false comparison.

$599 is anti consumer. Forcing a unproven video format at the time is anticonsumer. The "free online" in 2006 wasn't on par with the origional Xbox Live, nevermind Live on 360 in 2006.

Its a subjective argument anyways, no right or wrong answr.
