Did Microsoft totally mess up their holiday strategy?

Wrong, Xbox sells on brand vs anything else in the U.S, the 360 really erupted Xbox as a major gaming brand(almost the gaming brand for a while too)..... So lots of 360 guys are jumping to xone because of brand recognition.... Sony is doing everything, and I mean everything better than Microsoft this gen..... So it isn't because sony is missing something that Xbox continues to sell

If that was true I would own PS4 right now. The sole reason I don't own a PS4 right now is its lack of exclusives I care about (I'm not a Dark Soul's fan btw). If Sony was doing everything right than X1 wouldn't be doing as well as it is. Brand recognition didn't do Wii U or Vita much favors. I bought a WIi U this holiday because it has exclusives I really wanted.

I think you're giving MS less credit than deserved.

Brand recognition + most third parties are multiplat..... But they all look/run better on PS..... I don't see a reason beyond halo to be an Xbox only guy..... Unless you are okay W playing third party games(which is fine) that are not on par with ps
