Well, since X1 needs to keep selling more then if retail dropped digital must have rose more than retail dropped... because of reasons.

Soon when NPD shows X1 isn't outpacing X360 as much as before they will claim there are digital consoles.

We have to wait for Cybermonday numbers to see if Pro was that bad selling (there were 340 deals on target and Amazon)

Wrong, has your memory failed after all these years? Why the hell might a console sell less than it's less successful predecessor if the games weren't selling more. 

Hardware sales are tied to some extent to software ones. If Hardware sales are higher, why the hell are software sales lower? Are people using the console as a paperweight? 

Well the people that bought 6 X360 certainly weren't playing all of them at the same time.

And the higher HW sales (only in NPD, but lower in the rest of the world as far as we know) could be for higher 3rd party games. Not sure why only 1st party X1 games would be an anomaly selling more digital than all other options. We already know the number of players on Microsoft Store in Windows 10 is quite small to use that as the reason for crossbuy making X1 games exclusives go from 20-25% to 50-60% digital.
