Microsoft's statement:

We have seen strong momentum for Xbox One since announcing the new Xbox One S at E3 in June. That momentum continued in November as gaming consoles were once again among the most sought-after products to buy over Black Friday weekend. In addition, we saw record engagement among Xbox One owners on Xbox Live as fans enjoyed new games and great deals. In fact, the total players online on Sunday, Nov. 27 was up 40 percent compared to last year. If you missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, we are pleased to be extending our $50 off offer on all Xbox One S consoles for a limited time starting Dec. 11 at participating U.S. retailers. And if you’re looking to pair your new Xbox One S with a brand new 4K TV, we’re partnering with many leading retailers, including Best Buy, where you can save $150 and get a free Xbox Wireless Controller when you buy an Xbox One S with select 4K TVs.

I have no idea how reliable this website is.

So I'm assuming Xbox sales were down YoY since they just gave that "engagement" BS.

Even with Gears, Battlefield One and Xbox One S ?

The Xbox was down yoy in the USA by a good margin. If it isn't up in November and/or December, they will be down in the total.

The impact of the Knackening was so tremendous that it hit consumers back in November, weeks before it actually occured.

And their engagement PR sounds weird, too. It sounds like MS is doing a YOY comparison on a specific day (November 27, 2016 vs. November 27, 2015) as opposed to a month YOY comparison.
