Of course it's not a failure to be number two, or even number three, but it sure seems like failure to have excess stock 5 months after launch, to need to give away for free a game you heavily invested in, to practically be DOA in half the countries you launched in, with barely a chance to even make a dent in all others you still haven't launched in. XOne's failure has just begun, but reality will set in when their only two exclusive old tiring franchises also fail to shift consoles barring a massive pricecut/free game combo.
Microsoft will be lucky if it manages to reach original XBox's sales, making this their last console ever.

Xbox one is starting this generation way, way WAY ahead of where PS3 began last generation. Whereas PS3 needed an early price drop just to compete, the X1 is selling solid, though unimpressive numbers. 

I'm not sure why I even responded, this is pretty obvious trolling.


I was not trolling, just stating my opinion. And nowhere have I even mentioned Playstation, I have no idea why you would bring it into this and try to stir trouble. 

XOne is a console of interest here, not some ozlther console from another manufacturer from a decade ago.

XBox is doing awfully, they have invested a billion into games, a hundred million into a controller, who knows how many hundreds of millions into Kinect, and I still haven't gotten to the console itself. And all they have to show for is giving away free games, slashing prices left and right, and hundreds of thousands of unsold stock gathering humidity in various warehouses.

Sure MS will sugarcoat any public relations message, but the fact is that they must be very dissatisfied with the consoles performance, losing marketshare in only two territories they ever had a competing chance, and being pushed into irrelevance in all other markets. That's why I think what I've written.
