Eh, 7m for Xbox in its 5th year isn't that bad. They didn't really have heavy hitters in 2018 at all, so to sell that much with basically just a new piece of kit is pretty good. In fact, both PS4 and XB1 look good when factoring in age. And this is before inevitable adjustments after the holiday period is over (which are more likely to favor PlayStation).

I would have agreed with you if Xbox One X wasn't a thing. 7m after releasing a console that should have had some positive effect on the sales and was supposed to prolong consoles lifetime is not really that good. It isn't that bad though also. For example PS Pro helped PS4 a bit and their next year was better than the previous. Doesn't seem to be the case for Xbox even though, let's be honest, hardware wise they've made a more interesting console than the Pro.

Nov 2017-Oct 2018 (a full 12 months) had XBO up YoY so the X model did its job.
