To have a fair software comparison between X1 and 360 titles still involves multiplication of some type since the X1 has sold 1/3 less hardware.  Plus the software totals are much more incomplete on the X1 since a lot people buy their games digital now.  On the 360 a lot of people never bought their games digitially or only a small amount espeically the people that only had a 20GB or 60GB HDD.  Running out of HDD on the X1 is easly solved since it takes almost no effort to expand you HDD space via a external HDD. 

That has nothing to do with being "fair" I already mentioned digital sales in my points it simply can not make up for the big difference in sales

 

Also Xbox One is selling at almost the exact same rate - or even faster, than the 360.

Exactly.  Install base means absolutely nothing to how well your game will sell.  If it did, just about every game should have sold 20M+ on the ~160M install base of the PS2.  The only thing install base determines is the max your game can sell, as in it can't sell more than the install base (though in rare instances, like BOTW, it can temporarily.)  That's why you can have Halo games selling better on the OG Xbox compared to the XBO, even though the XBO outsold it.  Or some games selling much better on the PS3, even though the 360 install base was higher for most of the gen.
