I'm not sure that's true. Given the huge number of dead 360s by this point in its lifespan (many people bought new slim 360 bundles to replace their old units, that were either finally out of even the three year warranty or because of a lack of trust in the replacement units people were getting), I'm not sure there aren't as many active/working Xbox One units as there were 360 units. I see the PS4's greater popularity as a result of Sony having captured a good chunk of console sales that were going to the Wii this time last-gen, with the Xbox One holding steady. It's hard to deny that the RRoD inflated 360 sales. How many people this far in were still using their first-gen 360 units in the previous gen? Almost no one. Lots of people are still using first-gen Xbox One units. That at least mitigates, if not entirely compensates for, the sales difference in unit numbers. It's not a surprise to me that Xbox Live engagement is at record highs. It's because most of the Xbox One units still work, something that couldn't be said for most of the Xbox 360 units last generation.
