The fact the Xbox One is not a failure is distressful to some people.

It shouldn´t be that hard to accept the facts... but ok if they want to belive "no one is buying Xboxes", who am I my to change their minds?

Really? Is that what you truly believe?

First of all the failure or sucess of the Xbox 1 cannot be a fact because its ultimately relative, the only valid perspective is that of Microsoft and their investors, furthermore, no one is saying the XB1 is a failure just that it probably won't beat the PS4, which as far as generations go, is par the course.

Xbox has never beaten PlayStation, and the trend holds today.

This is some Nintendo level white knighting right here. Despite selling faster than the 360 which had no competition during its first year you're acting like its DEFCON 2.

XB1 has it merits, buts such merits are not resonating with the consumer as well as the PS4. Like the Wii U the XB1 is chasing the casual dream into ruin.

Points:

1) Do you know what Microsoft and their investors perspective was?

2) I don´t understand what you mean by "beaten". Isn´t that subjective also?

3) What is Nintendo white kneghting?

4) The 360 was facing the bestseling console of all time.. PS2 sales in 2006 and 2007 were very imprecive.

5) Another subjective opinion.

1* Why does that matter? It only means that it is subjective and cant be a fact, I never said it was a failure or a success

2*No Xbox Console has outsold a Playstation Console LTD Globally, that is fact, indisputable, its not relative, it doesn't change with perspective, its absolute, hence not subjective by any means

3*Nintendo White Knighting is a colloquial term that describes the defense of Nintendo by irrational nintendo fans who instead blame consumers for failing Nintendo instead of the other way around? Stating that people are distressed by Xbox doing well is akin to blaming consumers.

4. Unless we are counting DS, which outsold PS2, PS2 has sold the most units period. MS themselves stated that XB1 is their fastest selling console, so by both metrics speed and total you are wrong.

5. The problem with using numbers is that I have no idea what the hell you are responding to. I will assume that you are replying to the comment about the casual dream, its an observation rather than opinion. XB1 kinect requirement, media features, and even reason for its name were all geared towards getting casuals to buy the XB1, not to mention the TV and Watercooler comments of their first reveal. Seeing how that casual focus has led them to making a more expensive less powerful machine that they are heavily price cutting after 6 months, its blantantly obvious that they, like nintendo, were betting on the casuals, and since they havent even outsold the Wii U LTD yet, we can see how well thats paying off.
