This isn't a good point though. Nobody cares about aligned launches. People are making the argument that the Xbox One is a failure because they are down in sales (e,g, they've sold less consoles than the PS4). The PS3 was down in sales. It came back to be number one. Aligned launches mean nothing. The Xbox 360 was ahead of the PS3 for years, and that's the bottom line. Anyone can make a comeback, and that is my point. The Xbox One isn't a failure, and anyone who thinks so is being biased. I hate the Xbox One. I loathe it. I think it's a poorly made multimedia system. I like my PS4. A lot. Especially in comparison to the Xbox One. The Xbox One is not a failure though. There is empirical evidence that shows this.

A lot of people care about aligned launches, especially the PS fan base. While the PS3 made a strong comeback, it's not number 1 - it's in second place. I don't understand why we're having this conversation if you think XB1 is NOT a failure; I think I've already stated that I don't think it's purely a failure. Sure, it can't quite compete with PS4 and it's costing MS quite some money (probably), but it's selling very well compared to almost EVERY console released before it. And it's true that it's been little more than ayear since the launch and things can certainly turn around.

But that's what's so interesting with this discussion! On the one hand, it's not doing great compared to the competition, but on the other it's selling really well.


Then what was the point in starting this thread if you knew the answer (e.g. The Xbox One is not a failure)? From what you just said it seems like you only started this thread to watch people argue, and turn on each other. If I know that humans walked on the moon (for arguments sake lets just say I was there) then I'm not going to start a thread saying "Do you think humans walked on the moon?" We know that there are two sides (humans either walked on the moon, or it was staged), so the only reason for me to start that thread, when I know humans walked on the moon, would be to watch people argue.
