Oh boy... you have an anti Xbox agenda and ignore anything MS does that doesn't support your argument.

Xbox never stopped being a core gaming machine and MS never stopped pushing core games. MS tried to appeal to casuals as well and they had some success with that.

Xbox and Playstation are both entertainment boxes. Millions of people use them for other forms of entertainment outside of video games. There would be less demand for them if they were just game consoles.

X1 didn't bomb. Vita and Wii U are only the bombs this gen. MS knows their biggest mistakes with X1. It was launching with Kinect and high price. The biggest mistake with PS3 was also high price. Next gen, they need to be more competitively price and keep pumping out notable games.

I don't have an anti Xbox agenda. I gamed on that platform from 2002 to this year. I just believe that they're not interested in competeing in the home console market anymore. I'm entitled to that opinion. You don't have to agree, but please try not to lobby assumptions about my motives and/or character. It doesn't do you any favors in a debate or exchange and only serves to derail your original argument, whatever that may be.

As far as Vita and Wii-U bombing, I don't have the data on Vita what Nintendo's gaming division made more money than Sony's gaming division last quarter so, no, it didn't bomb. 

I'm making an assumption based on your words and the things you conveniently ignore. MS isn't in the console market solely for gaming but its crucial part of having a successful entertainment device. Therefore MS employees people who are passionate about gaming to handle that. The same thing goes for Sony by the way, Playstation is not just a gaming device and Sony uses the Playstation brand to push services that have nothing to do with gaming.

Its a safe bet Nintendo is relying on 3DS for profits these days. The Wii U is their biggest home console failure ever, which is most surprising given it followed their biggest console success ever.

You don't need data on Vita. Its lack of support and being virutally non existent at many retailers says it all.
