A bit slower than the X360. In a normal scenario it would have sold clearly faster during its first two years, since next gen will take on much quicker than current gen did (but that doesn't mean nextgen lifetime sales will beat current gen), but MS screwed things up.
It's not mainly due to the $100 higher price, it's due to the severe loss of momentum for the Xbone because of the historically bad PR during reveal and E3. MS has alienated lots of people who normally would have stayed in their familiar echo system (Xbox Live), but many of them will now hesitate, and some will jump over to the competition instead
