Simple really, all it takes is it selling less in EU, japan and ROW. The small uptick ithad in YOY sales in the US would make up for that so it would be down YOY globally. I don't know about the 15% though, but its clear the XB1 is only doing well in one market and mostly ok in the UK. 

The XB1 was selling nil in Japan, so the difference is minimal. But the US makes up over 50% of sales, and I'm pretty sure it was also up in the UK as well, which makes up almost 1/2 of all European sales. Unless sales dropped 50% in mainland Europe, I don't see the XB1 doing only 7 million this year vs 8.6 million last year.

I don't think anything was said about either console being up YOY in the UK. I do remember that the XB1 was down YOY by a whole lot (>30%) on Black Friday week.
