You cant compare the XB1 to Sony this generation. PS4 is the market leader and was selling like hotcakes regardless of which consoles. The announcement of Xbox one X has been hurting XB1 sales since 2016, hence why XB1 did worst in 2016 compare to 2015, 2016 the system should of been selling at a lower price point.
Xbox in 2017 sold roughly 8.5 million in a year of uncertainty and waiting for Xbox one X.
I think it's safe to say that XB1 should reach 10m sales this year. I expect Q1 2018 to be massive for XB1 with the sales boost from PUBG and the release of Sea of Thieves in March.
We will know soon enough when we see January numbers:
XB1 highest January - 335k
XB1 highest February - 448k
XB1 highest March - 490k
Xb1 Jan 9th 2016 - 75k
Xb1 Jan 16th 2016 - 64k
XB1 Jan 23rd 2016- 60.8k
Xb1 Jan 30th 2016 - 71.2k

I don't. Sea of Thieves will do well enough, I suspect, but I don't see any massive uptick for PUBG happening. If that were going to have any real impact, people would be buying the S model in droves - beginning with January. Sure, we don't know how things look for this month yet, but if Amazon is anything to follow (and it is), Xbox hasn't changed much.
Then you're expected the X1 to be up 1.5m consoles this year? Again, I don't. It would take something pretty major for that to happen (and I mean major - a HUGE system seller of sorts). It's not going to happen.

I expect much greater # then 1.5M consoles increase compare to 2017.
Check out the Sea of Thieves Beta, combine with Game pass news and PUBG is a gaming trend setter. It's already at 4 million players on Xbox one.
