One thing forgotten comparing the sales of this gen vs last is the time frame covered. Xbox was on sale for about 3 years. 360 has been on sale for 8 years now! So, no, there is virtually no significant increase in 360 sales!

Note : 1.7 million / 8 = about 212 K
or take one year out still
1.7 million / 7 = about 243 K
still very low!

That's not really how it works and besides the original xbox had stopped selling by the end of that 3 years, so it wouldn't have added that many in the next 5 years. 

No, no, that's exactly how it works, and you know what's funny? I totally agree with what you say, they did stop selling Xbox at the end of 3 years. So basically Whatever original Xbox sold, it sold in only 3 years. But this 1.7 million x360 sales are spread over 8 years. So on average, they'd have sold about  600-700 K at the same time frame. And boom, that is NO GROWTH whatsoever, forget how small or large it is!
