In a word: no.

Looking at its healthy library that has both good exclusives and all of the same third party games actually puts it above the PS4. Of course, it still doesn't come close to the flavors of exclusives on the Wii U...

Just because something sells well doesn't always mean it's the best. Hell, iPhones are a good example of this

By that logic, Dreamcast wasn't a failure!

I'm not really sure why this topic exists. I'm not trying to be mean, but you already gave the numbers, and the only logical answer is that the Xbox One is not a failure.

Or if Microsoft didn't have such a huge warchest, it would of flopped.  It still was a failure because microsoft is having to acces the warchest.  If the Xbox division was spun off like investors hope, It'd fail.

Exactly. Microsoft has a huge warchest, and everyone knows that.

This is exactly on point! The Xbox One is a failure that MS have been able to sustain due to scale/money. Being able to sustain failure ideally means being able to learn from it. Just look at PlayStation!
