It was up YOY for only December, I believe. For November, the XB1 was down YOY by about 400K if we are to go by Windows Central's numbers. Whatever amount the XB1 was up YOY by in December, it wasn't by much because the PS4 beat the XB1, but was down YOY (less than 1.6 million). Even on the best case scenario, it would only negate half of the YOY drop from November.

I think it was actually closer to 200k in Nov, though the PS4 was down 500k as well. November really seemed to be a poor month for both console.

Oh whoops, it was actually down YOY by 300K. I looked at the wrong month in 2015:

Even so, my point still stands in that even assuming the best case scenario for the XB1 for December, it's not enough to negate the November drop.

EDIT: Adding all the numbers together, the XB1 was down YOY for 2016 up to December by ~340K units. It is mathematically impossible for the XB1 to finish 2016 better than 2015.
