What's even worse for Microsoft regarding the Xbox One flopping so far (and, yes, it is flopping; it's only doing 'okay' in the US and has been an unmitigated flop in Europe so far - it just isn't flopping as badly as the Wii U has so far which is why the media are leaving it alone) is that those that have already bought a PS4 are unlikely to buy an Xbox One as a second console for two important reasons:
1) The third party games are already available on the console they own, and a good few of them look better on the PS4
2) They're going to have to buy a second subscription to play online every year
That's why the Xbox One being a flop so far is such a huge problem for Microsoft. They're pretty much screwed.
