Xbox merely capitalized where Sony dropped the ball with PS3. PS3 had huge momentum following the PS2 but Sony fucked up.

Actually, I expected the X1 to do even worse than it has. Xbox One needed to be cheaper than PS4 to really compete, not more expensive or even equal. This time MS fucked up.

Nintendo, Sony, and MS all dropped the ball on their 3rd console.

So every consoles success has been because of the competitors being bad instead of the console being good? 

That has been pretty evident starting around the 5th gen.

PS1 benefited greatly from N64 staying with carts. Saturn was DOA for various reasons.
PS2 maintained that success thanks to great 3rd party support. OG Xbox had a strong core following though.
PS3 was too expensive early on and Xbox had good momentum. That helped the 360 thrive.
Now X1 fucked up primarily on price. They simply couldn't compete with Playstation at equal or higher price.

I said there was a 3rd generation curse before Durango was even a thing. So MS kicking itself in the balls was pre-destined. Question is, 4th gen comeback (PS4) or 4th gen death spiral (GC), or no 4th gen at all for Xbox?
