Sales numbers I don't care about. Now the usefulness of the product when compared to other options within the same market is something that should be considered. And personally I don't see the need for the product other then to bring more competition to the playing field which is all ways a good thing. Other then that It's not very practical of a machine when I can do more and on better hardware on other similar devices for close to the same price tag. And If I really wanted to get a almost on par experience with zero care of cost I'd just go buy me a Razer gaming tablet, as though expensive they play games on par with what seems to be coming out for the Xbox one. So more diversity in apps and games available, and the damn thing is portable allowing me to play on the go or in my crapper, which is far better then a stationary box, though it will cost you $1500.

Ya I don't see any shit being gotten together. I see a company that released a weak tablet like machine in the hopes of being the next big box above the tv, the one to outshine the cable box, multimedia machines and the games systems, by combining them all. So far that hasn't worked out and all that's left is a box with weak hardware and a knack for taking to long to do anything in particular. With a company still trying to pick up it's pieces fumbling again and again, unable to even get a signature series to release without major issue, or to keep up on previous promises (Tv shows and series canceled?) it's hard to say they've done enough to justify a pat on the back yet. Microsoft hasn't been doing well as a whole. Their last two major consumer releases were a complete disaster and I'm not talking their about their horrid phones and app stores. Both the xbox one and windows 8 speak wonders with how lost the company was and still is as they try to redefine and redesign or scrap all together the work they've done over the last 5 years in the hopes of making something people think is actually worth buying. Will have to wait and see how windows 10 turns out, seems to be a step back in the right direction. Waiting to see how it all works out as I might end up just being a linux guy if it turns out I don't again like their direction for the future of desktop computing, as the last vision was horrid on so many levels.

The Xbox One is a decent system and the bumpy start is just water under the bridge now. As for sales the X1 will be fine as long as MS keeps pumping out the big exclusives and Phil Spenser all ready said that there will be plenty of games. I don't see a problem here.

Microsoft seems to have sorted out the first year disaster launch. Now they seem more focused on games. Xbox one at least managed to overtake Wii U in the first year. So now if the deliver on having great games for Xbox one. Then they will have turned things around for 2015

Oh, that's so clever using a $ for an S. The 90s want their joke back. It's time to think of something new.

Yeah I'd say they are. For a while I was not happy but I think they've really stepped it up.
