X1 will never catch or match PS4 sales, it is a misfired product.

Winning for who?? For shareholders? For gamers? Right now both consoles have great games and I would argue the X1 has the better exclusives. Also in terms of profit the Xbox division has been more profitable for the past couple of years.

So how is Sony winning? By sales? Do you think MS cares if Sony outsells them if they are making money will Sony doesn't.

Guess I have seen them all. 

Firstoff, this thread is (was) about if the X1 will ever catch or match the PS4 sales. I like most others have said it wouldn't and have gone on to explain why we think so. But you seem to not actually be talking about the sales thing at all, you seem to be saying that MS doesn't care if sony's PS4 sells more consoles and thus "wins" this console generation. Yet you talk about the MS divisions profits. Do you have any idea how those profits come by? 

But yh, MS doesn't care.

I suggest rereading the thread title. We are assuming the X1 will not catch the PS4. I think no one is arguing that. I'm arguing that MS can still have a successful generation if they sell well enough to create good profits and keep the brand healthy.

Also, did you know that Nintendo profited of the Gamecube and it helped them create the Wii where as Sega didn't off the Dreamcast and caused them to quit.  Having a profitable business is more important and the final goal.
