I am still amazed that they forced bundled the Kinect 2, but failed in include any software that justified it. The Wii came with Wii sports that sold people on motion control. MS launched with a $150 peripheral that was basically used as a microphone.
They tried to capture the hardcore market (360) ,the casual (Wii) market, and the home media center with one console, and failed.
The PS4 focused on games and faster hardware, and won the hardcore market.
The Casusal Wii market moved onto iPhone games 4 years ago.
The Nintendo fans stuck with Nintendo.
If people want an home media center they have any number of sub $100 devices that do it better. (Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Chromecast, FireTV, Playstation TV)
They need to refocus on the hardcore, and offer a Halo5/Forza bundle for $350 this holiday. I fear if they get killed in the US this Christmas, there is no coming back.
