Selling video game consoles doesn't determine success, but the games, subscriptions, ect does. For example, technically the ps3 overlap 360 in hardware sales. However, since the 360 controlled United States and U.K. they had a higher software attach ratio. If I remember correctly it was almost 2:1 in 360 favor regarding attach ratio. United States and U.K are the most important regions by far. If you do well in those regions, you are set. Which is why even if xbox one doesn't get in top ten all time console sales the software sales will be in the top ten for sure.

None of that negates what I said.

Besides, you need more than the US and UK, as Nintendo and Sony continue to prove.

In regards to winning a console generation, it does. Winning a console generation is more about money than sales or at least to me. I thought gamecube was more successful than original xbox because at least gamecube turn in a profit. I'll take 360 over ps3 because ps3 pretty much lost Sony all the money they made off ps1 and ps2. I think Apple is way more successful with iPhone despite selling less than samsung phones because it is way more profitable. All Microsoft has to do for the next console is not mess up the launch and they will win U.S and U.K. over which will mean they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
