Microsoft have done well with the X1. The sales are respectable for the time being. They've done okay.
It seems they were trying to do something similar to the Nintendo Wii; yet the Wii was very cheap when it first came out. The X1 is much more expensive. Even then the Wii motion controls were a phase; that phase has died down now.
For Kinect to really launch the X1 into the stratosphere (which is what Microsoft wanted) they need to find some form of innovative use for it, which they don't seem to have found. Its seen more of a gimmick. Here in Europe we're not interested. In Japan its unlikely the X1 will find any success, especially since most houses in Japan and many houses in Europe are small in comparison to American homes.
