Is the Xbox One a failure?

Those thread examples you gave were all opinion based threads. The success or failure of the Xbox One is not opinion. There are actual facts that prove that it is, or is not, a success/failure. The only way this could have been an opinion-based discussion (really) would have been to ask, "Do you think the Xbox One was a letdown?" Or something similar anyways. Success/failure is based on proof, and facts. The proof and facts show that the Xbox One is not a failure.

@wangjingwanjia: Good research. I could have done it, but lazy. :)

But what constitutes a success/failure then? Should it not be about the profits the company made? Or do we disregard those and focus solely on the sales?
