So basically it got everything wrong. Closest was 360, but it was still nearly 20% out.

So this methodology is worse than VGC.

People so fast to come here and say "downplay incoming" without actually analysing whether this is quality information. Indeed presenting this as any sort of definitive information is mischevious. Direst retailer information (if their website best seller rankings are actual sales) suggests it was very close and possibly a PS4 win.

We should be suspicious of a company that we only hear of when Xbox One is on top.  Where is InfoSouct the 49 weeks of the year when it's not good data for Xbox One?

They seem to be focusing on Target & Walmart only, so that makes things very biased.  Target especially should be taken as the most Xbox One biased store this holiday.  The $50 giftcard offer, plus Target Redcard member 5% savings essentially make XB1 ACU bundle just $262.55.  So hell yeah should've sold like hotcakes at Target, but not as well elsewhere.
