It got us Phil Spencer promoted to The Xboss, so in that regard it was a wild success. In terms of sales, no not really. Most importantly in terms of revenue, surely it had to be a success? A lot of games were sold on it, they had to make a killing in services and digital software sales.
The launch stigma was so poisonous, it also resulted in the complete 180 switch in focus and brought us the most consumer friendly approach to the industry that we now have with all games coming to PC, plus we got GamePass, and xCloud.
Still my second favorite console of all time behind the Dreamcast. But will eventually be dethroned by the Series X.
