Honestly I do hope the new Xbox fails and for one simple reason. Microsoft is out of touch with it's audience and even though they reversed their initial stance, they still showed their true colors once again. Their products are trash, I have had to replace my 360 twice, have gone through about 4 controllers, and if anyone has an original 360 in great working condition, then they are either lucky, or don't use it. Compare that to my SNES, PS2, and Wii all of which still work great and are considered ancient tech. The 1st Kinect was all hype and was barely supported and barely worked. This honestly isn't a fan boy rant because I bought a 360 a few months after launch and from that time until now Microsoft has annoyed me to the point that I wont even consider getting the X1. I will say the 1st 2 -3 years were great but it has been all downhill since then. So yes, I hope they fail so they can get their act together and eventually create a quality console with good games, that actually does what they say it will.
