You, perhaps unintentionally, explained why competition is important. If MS was left in the market by itself they would have likely succeeded with pushing DRM, mandatory Kinect, and probably so much more. Hence why competition from Sony (particularly Sony since they seem to be in very direct competition), Nintendo, and digital platforms like Valve's Steam has been useful because it provided consumers with choice and sent a strong message to MS (hence the 180 turnaround with many of the things they wanted to do with the One). Similarly, Sony, Nintendo, Valve and any other company should not be left alone because they will more than likely end up abusing their monopoly position. I am not going to predict if MS is going to stay in the hardware race or not (that will depend on how well Xbox is doing and how much it corresponds with the company's vision in the consumer space and gaming going forward), but I will say that more competition is a good thing because users will have choice and the Xbox's existence has contributed to that. Just as with Sony, Nintendo, Valve etc., I hope MS stays in the game and continues to provide competition.

My comment was not about how competition was not important, we all know it is. My comment was that MS offers nothing and has not been competitive, sony can pretty much do what they want and disregard MS at this point because they offer nothing that would put sony or nintendo even close to think of them in any differently than the ouya. 

Can you explain how they managed to sell almost 50% of what PS4 sold if they "haven't been competitive"?
