Yeah all the "All In One" XBox didn't do crap for the XBox this gen. They tried "Apple-ize" the console in a lot of ways and it failed miserably so they had to pivot away from it quickly. And MS is a huge OS creator, Nintendo is not creating something better with an employee size 1/10th of MS.

People just want a game console that has good technology in it for a reasonable price that plays a large breadth of software including all the top 3rd party content. And something that they also watch Netflix and Hulu and NFL/NBA/MLB League Pass on.

And that's it. All the crap about the console being the center of the living room and controlling your TV through the console and TV apps ... no one gives a shit about that. When people get into a living room they just want to relax and be entertained, it's the couch effect.

Personally, I don't get these comments because xb1 is going to end up, lets say with 40-50m, which  is double the sales of first xbox, yeah a 50% drop by xbox 360 and likely half of ps4 sales but still something more than good, and definately a  commercial success!  Some pretend that going from 24m to 86m was normal for Microsoft, so they had to repeat it or approach it with their next console!
