Do you consider Xbox One a Failure?

Overall, no, not a failure (its already doubled Wii U sales). However, with the fact that they were neck and neck with PS3, even with the RROD issues, the fact that they ended up so far behind PS4 was unexpected.
The reason why they ended up so far behind was clear the day XB1 was revealed, but who could have predicted that entire mess, after the 360's success and before the XB1 announcements, is beyond me.
They have done a decent job recovering, but trying to fight PS when they are on their game, has been a losing battle so far, no matter who you are.
To make matters worse, Switch looks to be rather promising as of now, and having to fight a "reborn" NiN and PS, will be like trying to climb Everest without a guide(NiN), nor oxygen(PS).

True.

for me as a customer, I need something to convince me to choose between ps4 and x1.

i loved my 360 and was sure to buy x1. a very good friend of mine and me, we buy the same system, played dark souls together online, exchanged games... and then the presentation: BOOM.

all you need for the living room? used games lock? kinect a must?

WTF

so my friend and me switched sides and both bought a ps4.

ok this was years ago, now, i am a consumer who already has a system of this gen, and i need a reason to buy another. hmm, kinect (i never tried it on 360 in my life and i never cared), i never watch tv as such, cancelled my netflix abo, more into blurays with good sound system, any exclusive games so i buy a x1?

well, this switch thing costs only 300 bucks and mario looks promising, and it's time for me to play another zelda, and there are even talks about monster hunter  

yes, microsoft, quick question: Why sould i buy an x1? tell me. a new console for lets say 3 exclusives Which may interest me? anything else? what is left of the living room machine? i think, i am happy they didn't fool me back then, because i am sure some services are abandonned by now. like the dead kinect.

no no, i buy the switch, amazon got new machines in abt. 2 weeks
