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. 

For someone who likes to preach about "the facts" you seem to ignore them.  Almost everything revolving the Xbox One has been a failure from a business perspective.  Those are the facts.  I don't usually quote myself but since you’re a fact man, I want you to be able to see the facts.

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) 

If you’re going to preach about the facts, than you shouldn't be reading a fantasy articles on fool.com.  There is no way investors are cheering about how much money the Xbox One is bleeding, especially after being assured they would be profitable from day one unlike previous consoles.  That is a fantasy.  That is why investors want to spin off or sell the Xbox division. The Xbox One has been nothing but constant steps back from where they were the previous generation.
