http://www.icxm.net/x/xbox-39-million-active-gamers.html x1 sold more than last year. That means it above 14 million. But I THINK its around 15.8 million -16 million.

Not this is assumption from this weird site.

They think the Xbone sold more than last year because the number of Xbox Live users increased lol
While that can be true it is perfectly possible to increase the number os Xbox Live users selling less consoles... one thing is not related to other.

jup. weird assumption. (most people still think about xbox live user as xbox console user - windows 10 and windows phone user with an microsoft account could also be xbox live user)

 

if we talk about xbox one hardware number, they could be slightly up,or slightly down
main factor for lower revenue is less xb360 units sold and the differnt average selling price of the xbox one this quarter(last year all consoles were 399 and even some 499 kinect models - this year the mix is 349 and 399)

xbox one was up YoY for neraly the entire year. we know that from npd numbers and other should have also gfk numbers. and that indicator would be a a good one for increased xbox one shipments over the last year quarter.
on the other side, last year quarter had the tier 2 launch initial shipment, that could result in lower xbox one shipment numbers

 

as i said. both is totally possible and would be in line with the 17% revenue decrease.
xbox one shipments are either slightly up, or slightly down YoY...
and to point that out very clearly. that's the only both possible option. there is no way xbox one shipments are either heavily up or down.
