""Every generation, as you've probably heard, has grown approximately 30%," he said. "So this generation is about 300 million units. Most industry experts think the next generation will get upwards of about 400 million units. That's if it's a game console, over the next decade."

Do people actually read only thread-titles?

Do people actually read only half of the OP?

"(...) Medhi thinks the general entertainment capabilities of Xbox One and PS4 will more than double their selling power. "We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units. That's how we're thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward."

Yes, the Xbox One is getting a major portion of one billion of the entire generation. That's what they are talking about before this sentence. Of course they don't expect to sell them on their own because this wouldn't be a logical conclusion with what they said before.

So Microsoft is aiming for 1 billion next gen consoles (PS4 + Xbox One + Wii U), which is what the thread title says.

Exactly. Well, they are not aiming for really, this is their prediction. They are most probably aiming to be a major part of it :)
