The Xbox barely kept up with GameCube sales, and was ultimately a grossly unprofitable adventure.

Any business' end-goal is profit. With the Xbox, this is through both vendor lock-in and "owning the living room". Some MS exec once also talked about using it as a way to transition the masses of console gamers to PC, but that was probably just a "nice to have" at best.
