Where's that graph that shows launch vs. sales for the following year (through September or October). Raw number wise, yes, XBone is ahead of 360 (thanks to its extremely front loaded launch compared to subsequent sales). Trend wise, it's below.
360 had 1.17M as of Dec 31, 2005, then had 7.99M at the end of Dec 2006. Selling 6.82M in 2006. XBone had 3.2M at launch and is at 9.4M now, so 6.2M sold so far for 2014. But it's only there after repeatedly dropping the price and packing in games for pretty much the entire year. To make that point stick, the 360 was sold nearly 5.8x its launch for 2006. XBone did less than 2x its launch for 2014. But, I guess, on paper, I can't take away from the XBone. It will get passed 10M, so if that's all anyone wants to look at, be my guest. But, as Zekkyou said, it's one sided to state that it's ahead and just ignore the drastic measures MS had to do to get there. Especially when 360 did none of that and was supply constrained for its launch period. If looking at things in black and white makes you happy, I'm in no position to take that away from you
