That seems kind of arrogant.  You didnt really show anything.  You made an assumption and called it reality and people delusional when plenty of people are happy with their xbox one and will continue to be that way because it offers the games they want.

Let me explain it this way. Ill post my favorite consoles of each generation and then ill explain to you why i just want to see it be successful

N64 > PS1 > Sega
Gamecube > Dreamcast > Xbox > PS2
PS360 > Wii
Xbox One > PS4 > WiiU  (so far)

Now show me which generation my favorite console was the best selling console?  Oddly eough that hasnt been a single generation.  Why I want it to be successful is so they can continue to make consoles unlike Sega which was forced out of the market.  That has nothing to do with what is selling the best, but what is successful.  I play games, not numbers.  While its fun watching numbers, yes some people take it too seriously which is what I believe the person that got ridiculed earlier in this thread was trying to say.  YOu have people more inclined to focus on pixels and numbers rather than how fun a game is primarily based off a console war.

Are you misinterpreting what I'm saying? Or just not reading it? I never said Xbox fans are delusional for enjoying their console. I said it's a delusion to believe "just doing well" is the #1 priority Microsoft has. My post that I linked to was in response to a user saying "It's obvious that they don't want to lose to PS4", which had a reply with the sarcastic Nick Cage picture with the caption "you don't say"....but looking around the forums, all you see is "they just want the Xbone to sell well". No, they want to beat Sony. If the PS4 sells 100M units, Microsoft wants to sell 100.1M. That's their priority, hence 3 price cuts in 10 months in the UK.  In terms of "doing well to continue to make consoles", you think making multiple price cuts in a short amount of time is good for future console making? You think developers seeing waning sales and desperation price drops will make them think "hrmm....this is the console I want to invest in"?

I play games too, you know, not numbers:

(and that just came out a few weeks ago). But this is a sales oriented site, so I'm gonna discuss it. It's so annoying that the fall back of "I play games, not sales" keeps coming up. Well, if you don't like sales discussions and the impact sales has on the video game industry, then this just may not be the forum for you.
