Xbone still always had the full backing of all the big third parties, something Nintendo hasn't had since the SNES. The market has also grown massively since those days, back then you could sell 50 million and be market leader, now to do that you need over 100 million.

3 of the 4 Nintendo consoles you describe come from a time when the gaming population was vastly smaller than today, so outselling them in the current gen is not really an achievement.

Ok, let me see if I understand this.  So what you're saying is that without: 

1) Kinect drop 

2) Price cut

3) BC

4)PlayAnywhere

5)Gamespass and

6)X1X

The X1 still would have sold the same thing just because "Xbone still always had the full backing of all the big third parties".  Is that what you´re saying?

And I´m willing to bet that at the end of gen8, the market share of the X1 will be bigger than the marketshare that the N64 and GC had in their respective generations.

No, what I'm saying is the Xbone made no great turnaround, it started off selling at a mediocre level and has continued to sell at a mediocre level.
