I hate to use such a morbid descriptor, but they're "dead in the water". They have absolutely failed this console generation. Even the Wii U will do leagues better. Even with Nintendo's huge Youtube mistake.
In fact, even as badly as the Wii U is doing, it is at least possible for them to pull out of it. The only way for Microsoft to record the XBOX is to completely scrap XBOX One DRM and make a sincere sounding apology. And even then, so much damage has been done they'll still be scraping the barrel. Harsh, but nonetheless true.
Sony would have to do something horribly, terribly stupid to not win this console generation by a landslide.

As much as I dislike the idea of the Xbone, it's way too early to call it a failure.
It is not too early to call it a failure. For what reason could the XBOX, at this point, sell even remotely better than the Wii U?
