Was this gen unwinnable for Xbox?

I don't think it really matters who wins and loses, another company having three times the sales doesn't really impact me as a consumer if I still get the games I want.

What matters is if it's profitable and thus financially feasible to keep pushing out hardware.

This is why the GameCube was not really a failure. Nintendo made a profit. Xbox did not. Xbox outsold Gamecube.
