To be fair, the Xbox 360 did pretty well. If they hadn't screwed up with the hardware's heat-dissipation capabilities (aka: the RROD and the billion-dollar charge they took as a result), that would have been a nice feather in their cap.

Admittedly, they then completely screwed things up with the Xbox One by both trying to pivot it into being a living room multimedia center *and* force-bundling it with Kinect, at a point when it was clear that the fad for "movement" controls had long since peaked.

At least it's still ticking along, even if the PS4 has handily claimed the console crown for this generation!
