In terms of game output, Xbox One is the worst MS console for exclusives by some distance

The 360 is the best console from MS by so far its not even funny.

Indeed. I'd even put the original Xbox above the One. Plenty of exclusive games and the best machine for multiplatform games. 

Jade Empire on the original Xbox was the shit.

Next he will be telling us how well the Wii U is doing.

Well sales wise, it's outselling the xb, and xb360 aligned sales in the hardware category, and when we include digital software its also outselling the other xboxes, and there are more Xbox Live Users than ever before so he's right in regard. As for game id say it slightly edges out the x360 and theXB when it comes to MS exclusives but that's subjective.

The XB1 is definitely ahead of the 360 launch aligned in the US. Worldwide, it most likely has fallen behind already. Xbox Wire didn't disclose the XB1 being ahead of the 360 after the 2016 holiday season whereas it did after the 2015 holiday season.

Well VGC still has it ahead but VGC could be wrong and Phill said the best gen yet and then mentioned the XB1S sales so it could possible still be ahead. But in Nas of November 2008 the XBox 360 had sold 25 million WW according to MS and it sold 1.3m in December NPD bringing it to 26.3m as of Nov 2008 in EU/Africa/and the Middle East the XB360 had 7m life time but as of Jan 009 8m sol it sold 1m during the holiday season bring it to 27.3m by the end of 2008. VGC has the XBO at 27.9m at the end of 2016 so if VGC is right then its still ahead.

I got the 360 sales info from this site btw http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_December_2009

Xbox was like 20 mil ahead in the US with the 360 compared to the PS3. He's clearly lying. Even if they were to surpass the PS4 in the US they will never build up that 20mil lead.

I'm 100% sure he means sales. It isn't keeping pace with PS4 at all but there's room for second place.

The 360 actually sold 28 million by December 31, 2008. It shipped 28.5 million by the same date. I think VGC's XB1 number is overtracked, but even if it is not, the XB1 is behind.
