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

Fortunately, the problems for Xbox 1 changed with actual policy shifts plus the firing of Don. Your entire 1st paragraph is Don Mattricks vision. That vision, and himself, are gone.

X1 may be underpowered compared to PS4, but then again so was 360 to PS3. Or DS to PSP. Or 3ds to Vita. Point being games will still come and specs are always secondary. Price can and will change. I don't see X1 and PS4 being the same price for a long time.

I am aware PS4 has the gen in the bag. But that doesn't mean X1 can't be a great option in itself. I mean right now X1 has Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall vs Killzone and Infamous. This fall is Forza Horizon, Halo MCC, Project Spark, and Sunset Overdrive vs LBP 3 and Drive Club. Offcourse I am using the biggest name games, ones that can actually qualify as system sellers. I am just saying X1 is doing great so far on big name games.

And you just missed the entire point of my post.  Mattrick may be gone, but the hardware he helped designed is what is being sold today.  There is nothing MS can do except to keep pushing a console  that is widely regarded as underpowered.  All of the dubious "advantages" that the XB1 had with Kinect are GONE, and competing as "just" a game console is doomed to failure as the competition's console, sold at the same price, outperforms it AND has more games.  The integration that MS was looking for is gone, the "dominance" in the living room is gone, and all that's left are the empty promises Microsoft made.

Ok.....so Xbox gamers are left with a console that isn't what it was designed to do.....but at the same time everything we want. Oh and were not 1st place.

Oh nooooooo, woe is us! Just because PS4 is going to win, doesn't mean X1 can't be great for its own customers.
