The purpose of an NHL team is to provide entertainment, and to make money in the process. The Maple Leafs succeed in doing that.
The point of the XBox is to entertain, and to make money in the process. It is doing better sales wise than last generation. Marketshare wise, they were at 31% last generation (80 million out of 280 million consoles sold). They are 29% now and gaining. Microsoft appears to have spent lots more (due to R&D and RROD) last generation than this generation, so they should be able to recoup their investment faster. So in my opinion they are not a failure.
Just because you are not the market leader does not make you a failure.

opinion matters not, as partely it does mean just that as MS said them selves they are in it to WIN it, whats so hard to grasp about that ?

I agree with you in that if your bar for success is to win it, then they are failing.
Xbox was essentially second plast last gen (Wii was first). Phil wouldn't be much of a leader if he came out and said "let's try to maintain our 2nd place status". Of course he is going to say they are there to win it. They are pushing toward that. And so far I think they are doing a better job than last gen. To me, that is a small success, and not at all a failure.
