Could Xbox have realistically won any of their generations? Why/why not?

Speaking of RROD, I'm actually wondering, did this harm sales, or actually boost them due to all those people buying a 2nd/3rd/4th 360 after hardware failures?

I don't have any hard data but I remember a lot of people saying they were holding off 360 until the Jasper chip came out which promised to drastically reduce RROD. Then again working at Gamestop we gave the pitch of the 3 year warranty. We sold far far far far more 360's than PS3's in those 2 years as a manager. It's also easy to forget tho PS3 had a high failure rate with YLOD but wasn't as publicized.
