Looks like Xbox came in second place based on this.

Well, he said that he has no idea, so his guess is as good as ours.

That would put Xbox December sales above 1.3m if that's what he means.

Which actually sounds reasonable. It's down YOY from December 2016, which I think most people expected, but not terribly so.

Yea, I think your theory is right. They most likely mean that XBO did the highest percentage of sales for the year. This is really spinning a bad first 9-10 months as a positive. 

The only other explanation I can think of is that they are saying the highest percentage they have had so far out of all consoles sold. Which also could make sense, since there are really only 3 consoles selling well this year for December in the US. Previous years we still had 3DS, 360, and to a smaller extent PS3.

I think we can rule out 2 things, both for the same reason: Xbox One wasn't the best selling console in December, and it also wasn't the Xbox One's best December (and also month) to date. If either was the case Microsoft simply would have said so.

This.
