When you look at the Xbox One's history from a corporate/business/stockholder's perspective:

Original Policy: Failed (reversed)
Original Pricing: Failed
Free games bundled at original price: Failed
Kinect-less model achieving price parity: Failed
Maintain or Gain Market Share US/UK: Failed
Gain Market Share outside of US/UK: Failed
Xbox Entertainment: Failed
Maximize Xbox Live profits: Failed (forced to give free games eating into profits to compete)
Ability to keep apps behind paywall to maximize subscribers: Failed (Force to compete)
Hardware designs from a performance perspective: Failed (PS4 is more powerful)
Hardware designs from a financial perspective: Failed (While it was true before the release. The cost of DDR3 has constantly gone up, and is going up to the point where Microsoft is rumored to have some major R&D design changes to DDR4, which is costly) 

Based on the above, I have a hard time seeing the Xbox One as a business success.

 

Bravo, yetsome want to pretand its not.

Makes no sense to me really, Sony faield with the PS3 Ninty with Wiiu and MS with the X1.  Whats so hard to accept reality ?
