My argument was that Nintendo is one of the most respected brand in gaming history and yet it has had a couple of consoles that have performed worst than the X1.  So that´s why I dont see the X1 like such a big failure.

That's what I'm saying, none of the measures taken to try to boost the Xbone significantly altered its fate.

No. Again, for a 5-6 years old child, it is too complex. My nephew wanted Splatoon and Mario Odysee, I can barely let him play alone more than a minute on Odysee, and on Splatoon it is almost impossible. SMM2 is not adapted for 5-6.

Xbox one s is 229 with games bundled in. And almost 199 at most major retailers.

One x is 399 with fallout.

Vs

Ps4 at 299
And pro at 399.

The PS4 is doing 2:1 in the US and an estimated 5:1 world wide or more vs Microsoft. This is severe. Microsoft is in a HORRIFIC position right now. As bad as they were at the beginning of the gen one may argue.

More powerful console
Cheaper console
Better so called value with game pass

And they are falling off hard.

The Nintendo brand has remained strong thanks to their popular IP and handheld performance. Outside of Wii their home console market had been poor in the 21st century so doing better than GC & Wii U doesn't mean much.

I expect a cut to 249$ later this year but 199$ only during some holiday promotions

From the NPD prediction tool:

So yeah, XBO was way undertracked but that was somewhat expected (it barely showed up at all in the sales early in the month because practically everybody who wanted an Xbox probably bought one during the holidays when they were much cheaper), on the other hand the Switch/PS4 ratio is pretty close to correct.

If the tool is correct next month again then Switch might deliver a trashing in February, current ratios are Switch (1.00), PS4 (0.50), XBO (0.43), meaning Switch is outselling PS4+XBO combined if correct.

remember when people said that the X1 would dominate because the X1S and X1X had a UHD Blu ray player.... remember when they said that... on a gaming forum and were serious. not only are both models of the PS4 doing just fine with their regular blu ray drive but the Switch just got Youtube and that things selling like hotcakes just as a games device alone, I mean I guess you can put a blu ray disc into the dock while the Switch isn't in there... could keep it nice and warm, might scratch it though!

Been saying it since before Xmas now... X1 is in cascade failure mode, it's failing more each week because it failed in the previous week, has a knock on effect and is now very clearly the console to not buy.

Don't worry Xcloud will come to the rescue!

In some degree, main point of NSMBU DX is local Co-Op with 2-4 players, while with Mario Maker is making and playing made levels.

Thats damn impressive, so after best December for Switch from 2010/2011. Switch now has best January also in around last 8 years.
