Mkay. (assuming you're serious)
Well ok, let's be real here for a moment...
I want Sony to be very successful and *ahem* win too. Mainly because they are always doing cool tech things (see morpheus) and giving developers free reign (as they've almost always done) and also because I'd rather have my money go to a Japanese product than an American one.
But hoping the Xbone "fail(s)"... I dunno. I suppose I'd have Nintendo be more successful than MS (for very obvious reasons) too, so I suppose a 20% marketshare for MS would be fine if I could control the universe. The original Xbox was awesome for me. I had it along with PS2 and GC (fun times). And 360 was fantastic until about 2010 when the Forza/Gears/Halo/Fable-is-all-your-gonna-get nonsense started. The whole Kinect thing made me dislike the brand. Kinect=/=Natal, i.e. MS lied. And they've lied since. And they'll lie again.
I actually dislike MS for reasons outside of their Xbox dept. Windows is the biggest scam pulled on humanity since the moonlanding - and I don't know if the moonlanding was a scam at all. Point is, companies, Universities and families spend BILLIONS of dollars for something that is free somewhere else... *Ubuntu* *cough* *Ubuntu*. And it would be fine, but then they make a new OS and sell it to people when the old one was perfectly fine. A mega corporation sitting in board meetings speculating how to increase revenue without actually offering the customer anything. And before anyone pulls the "all companies try to get your money" card, there's a MASSIVE difference between a hardware and a software company. (of course MS makes some hardware nowadays - I'm specifically referring to their OS which is just BS)
