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.

They are consistently down YOY, even with a lot of deals, Last year the console was cheaper but the revenue was Down YOY by a considerable %. What I mean is that they will not be able to get more costumers regardless of what they do, and that will be better for the Xbox Brand to focus on profit rather than Installbase. They are burning their profit, becoming less reliable for the retailers to order from, with those deals for the Xbox One.
