No, you're going to keep trying to put words into my mouth that I didn't say, or quote completely out of context since you can't seem to have an actual honest conversation.
I've already said that in order to judge if the product is a pass/fail, or the marketing is pass/fail you need to know what the actual intentions and target market for the product. If Stadia is trying to target the hardcore FPS gamer who wants 4k games then yes, they failed all around. If Stadia is trying to target the casual gamer on the go, most reviews are saying that for mid level graphics and mid level internet, things work fine. It's almost like context matters.

The only console I have from the current gen is the xbox one, and I've had no problems with it. I also didn't get it at launch. In its current form, I don't think you can argue it is a "bad" system from a hardware / operating perspective.
As for Stadia, few questions:
1) What is wrong with the controller?
2) Lag isn't a thing in every game, or all the time. Even bad reviews have stated as such. High end graphics and non-optimal internet, yes. Or is your complaint that there may be a chance of lag, makes it bad?
3) Why is a phone app that big of a deal?
4) No games. As I understand it, Stadia had 22 games at launch, and the PS4 had 26, Xbox One had 23. So is your threshold that anything less than 23 games is "no games"?
5) Overheating / lying. The funny thing here, is all the reports of overheading come from streaming games for long periods of time at 4K, 60 FPS. I have also not seen people report their setups, either. Is the overheating problem ultimately a Stadia problem, or a Chromecast problem? (either way, would still be a Google problem)
I expect Stadia to be mediocre (as it has been so far), much like when Google launched their Pixel phone. What matters more is how they support it going forward, and what direction they plan to take it in.
Considering the Stadia isn't a loss leader like a console, it doesn't need to sell well in order for them to continue to support it.
