I annotated the screen to highlight the read data but:

1. in the launch holiday period xbox one killed it compared to the 360. 

2. in the first full year xbox one was losing ground to 360 thoughout the entire year until ms pulled out a massive holiday sale.  that allowed it to pull ahead for the year.

3. in the second year xbox one has been losing ground to the 360 quite quickly.  that last point of data for xbox one will clearly go up by the end of the year but right now xbox is behind 360 for the year by 5 million units.  at the end of the year that gap will likely be between 1 to 2 million in favor of 360.

 

so yes, xbox one has sold more than 360 if you take a snapshot in time where you simply count the number of weeks since launch.  but when you see how the curve looks where xbox one took and early lead and has since been losing ground means "xb1 is not doing as strong as MS tries to spin it all things considered".   i mean, the 360 didn't have a great launch at all.  it only did as well as it did because it manage to peak in it's 6th year instead of the standard 2nd or 3rd something i highly doubt will be true for xbox one.

Sorry, this is proof? I hope you're joking.

all that work and it was completely defeated by the "finger in ears" defense.   bravo sir.  xbox one is certainly going to be the top selling xbox console now...
