Was the Xbox One a nasty console or simply poorly marketed?

Hi there everybody,

I'm new to Xbox and can be with Xbox for a full 12 months as soon as the vacation seasons come round. Naturally, I made a decision to take a deep dive into Xbox's historical past and am coming to the conclusion that Microsoft constantly makes good consoles nonetheless, I'm unsure about Xbox One.

I do know Don Mattrick did destroy the model along with his well-known "purchase a Xbox 360" remark and advertising the Xbox One as an leisure system as an alternative of a gaming system. I'm properly conscious that Xbox at all times suffered from unhealthy advertising however what in regards to the Xbox One itself?
