Alright, fun as it is to dump on Microsoft, simply because it's refreshing seeing them get kicked around by Sony after the shit they tried to pull on us with the original Xbone pitch, it's not like the Xbox One is selling poorly. It's selling well, it's just the PS4 is selling REALLY well.
It's not selling poorly enough to make people wonder if Microsoft should bow out of the console space like they are with Nintendo.
If the current trend of Xbone selling just slightly over 50% of PS4's sales continues until the end of this generation, then sure, Microsoft will have to sit down and work out how not to make the same mistakes, but who knows what the landscape will look like by then.
I'm hoping that by then there will be only one console format, but not a privately owned one, so Sony and Microsoft will make their own versions and services, but the games will play on either. Of course, both Sony and Microsoft will do a lot and spend a lot to prevent exactly that from ever happening. The arbitrary divide of the console space into two proprietary formats is a dichotomy that benefits them much more than the consumer.
