That's the point I was trying to make. "The console made no sense from my perspective" is how I would have worded it. (and how I felt about the PS3 until Uncharted, MGS4, and a few other games came out) It comes across as less... aggressive.
I'm going to nit pick this a bit too... A failure indicates that there was no recovery or that the product no longer exists. Look at most startups for a reference of a failure. The launch of the PS3 was rocky, but not a failure. No-one is arguing that. Especially not me. Anyone who think that launch was a "blazing success" is blind and dumb. But failure is an extreme over-exaggeration of the launch. Again, poor choice of wording. It'll only lead to flame bait.

Fair enough. I guess I'm sick of seeing the written version of this over and over:
Yeah, there are some pretty big missteps on the part of Microsoft's DRM, but I'm getting sick of hearing it from anyone and everyone go on about how worthless and garbage the XBO is, how the features are stupid and how it's so much more expensive (despite shipping with more hardware). At the heart of things, they are more equal than not, and I see much of the comments as petty revenge jabbing to get back at Xbox fans for all the heat Sony took after the 2006 E3. Cuz let's face it... that was.... rough for them.
