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.

Playstation 2 was the best selling console and was just a Console, with Just games.

a Console with just Games and good games, can out-sell a console with Multi-midia functions, because people only want to play games when purchase a Gaming console, and Online gaming is just a Gaming feature is not a Multimidia feature, People don't purchase Playstation, to hear Music, to see Movies, they just add those features to be more easy for people that already is playing, just do 2 clicks and use the Multimidia, that other wise would take a little while to acess the Multi-midia, if Someone want Multi-midia, so a PC, is what the person need, not a Home Console.

Billions and Billions of hours spend on gaming, much more than on the Features, the Features are nearly un-existent, in Time Usage, the features are just there for Practical use.

If someone make a Console, with very good games, good third party support, just with Games, and Online Gaming, the console can still dominate the market, just like PS1, and PS2, did.

What worked for PS2 doesn't necessarily work today. Also, it was a popular DVD player. Portable gaming devices are also being killed off by phones given their many functions and gaming.

The masses don't a want a gaming device that doesn't do video streaming. Quite frankly, that's less value.
