So a system that is well on its way to outsell the snes isn't successful? Okkaayyy......

They don't need to beat PS to be successful, you know...

so selling over 40 million consoles is a failure.....

whatever you say man.

No, what he is saying is at the much bigger console market these days selling 30-40 Million is like selling 10 million back then.

It’s always about relation. If you start in the gen with the clear aim to become the new leader but end up far away at third place, it can indeed be considered a failure. It always depends on the perspective.

It all depends on Microsoft expectations about the brand. The Xbox One could be a huge success for them for all we know, but:

Xbox biggest success (X360) was still surpassed by Playstation biggest failure * (PS3).

* Home Console Failure, Vita not included

IMO they cant pretend to be first when their games output are lower than the competition. It doesn't work that way.

The day that Xbox goes toe to toe with Sony when it comes to exclusive games, that is the day that they will be competitive.
