Microsoft has done a lot to turn things around for the One in the past six months. And there are two conclusions I've come to:
1. They are still battling the goof-up that was the Xbox One reveal nearly 18 months ago. That hurt the brand image a lot and they're still recovering.
2. The PS4 is more powerful, has benefited from point 1, and as a result has taken over the mindshare thinking of the masses.
But the One is still doing good. It's just not as good as the PS4. There's room for multiple consoles just as there is for multiple cell phones, phone carriers, car maker, etc. So just play the games you like, have fun, and quit worrying about who is selling more consoles. You'll find the freedom it brings refreshing.
