Over 20 million sales isn't nothing, It's lower than the competition but to say it has gained no ground is deluding yourself to the truth. You do realise it outsold the ps4 in July, not by much but wouldnt that equate to "gaining some ground"? Also please tell me where I can get an Xbox One for free...

It outsold the PS4 in July by 10k in the USA (lost by a lot Worldwide), for example, in Japan it got oldsold by more than 80k in the same month. Another fact is that both PS4 and Xbox One are down YOY,  despite the sales( avaliable for over 250US$ with some games) it was unable to sell much more than the PS4 or to stay flat/up YOY.

Xbox One was down YOY last year and, for the most part, down this year too. It sold over 20 Millions units while on USA, last gen, it had  40+ Millions of units sold.

Xbox One was Microsoft's biggest launch, if I remember well,  it will be hard for them to get more consumers after they burned their image over the past few years. For the sake of the Xbox brand, it is better to focus on profit rather than a userbase that will always be less than the competition. On the console Market, or you have the majority of the install base or you will have some games not avaliable for your system.

Xbox brand is getting its consumers back after the initial bridge burning phase. They are doing this by adding features people want, like BC and not turning down apps like EA Access for reasons of profit.

They won't catch up to ps4 this gen but at least they are learning from it.
