well, people said PS3 was a failure despite selling 85m, because it came after PS2 which sold close to double that. So if you were one of those people, you would have to say Xbox One is a failure.

If you take each generation on it's own merits, Xbox One is neither a success or a failure. It's just kind of meh, average

I'm not one of those people. The PS3 did badly at first, but bounced back and eventually passed the 360. But, it seems a lot of people replying do consider Xbone a failure. This makes me wonder what the threshold for being a "successful" console is. Is it just based on the competition's sales?

I think it might be the legacy it will leave behind. Im pretty sure theres not a lot of x1 owners thinking, "boy Im exited to see what goodies the next xbox will bring". Most are seing the competition deliver more and they have no reason to stay in the ecosystem. So its a faliure cuz next gen a lot of people will be jumping ships, if it even gets another gen.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
