Did Xbox lose every advantage it had?

Every single goddam one. Early launch? Gone. Low price? It got MORE expensive. Lightning fast installs and updates? How about lightning slow. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. I don't give a fuck. Better third party games? Not anymore. Oh well. Enough rehashing the OP.

And what did it gain? Picture in picture? My Vizio from 2010 could do that. If Microsoft doesn't manage to put out the more mindblowing games than Sony, they totally blew it this gen. I still want an Xbox One (when the good games come out) and I think the 360 was the far superior console compared to the clunky PS3 but Microsoft really fucked up this time.

Yup.

 

Incredibly, there are still people who don't do their research (or simply don't care about this stuff) and still buy the XB1 instead of PS4.

Most people don't care about hardware capabilities. Most powerful hardware of the gen =/= sales. People buying Xbox One's at this point in time is because of brand loyalty, upcoming exclusives (Halo) and because of Gamerscore and Xbox friends etc. It's not as simple as, 'oh, PS4 is the better consoler hardware wise, I'm going to buy that console', otherwise the Wii would have not won last gen
