Don Mattrick. No doubts. Without the Xbox One debacle, Xbox would not be that far behind in the console area.
Now we can argue that Xbox (in general) is not in trouble at all right now. Only people looking at the "console" would see it that way.

One thing that people keeps ignoring is that after having a market at more than 70% for Sony with their PlayStation Four, most people will not switch after buying all their games in for the Sony ecosystem, and it was, from the start an almost impossible hill to climb back; most people would prefer to go to the next Sony console NO MATTER what and then pretend it is for whatever reason they want to make up, but the reason was their wallet and not having to buy all those games again and keeping their trophies etc, simple as that... 

People may pretend that it is not true if they want, reality is that Xbox this generation started with an almost impossible task and seeing where they are today is definitely a success in my opinion.

I'm looking at this from a business perspective and Xbox is definitely in a better place than when the generation started. People needs to stop freaking out when an Xbox studio game come out on other platform, or when studios are closed, or games are cancelled. This happens every year and not only with Microsoft; but for some reason people are making big fuzz about it when it is Microsoft... It sucks for the people losing their jobs but it is just how businesses with shareholders works including Sony.
