XBone has hade a good run so far but the tables are turning. The gap has barely grown over the last year and it's going to shrink fast now. Xbox 360 hade a great year in 2008 beating ps3 and selling almost 11m units. I don't see XBone doing that, definitely not with exclusives moving to PC. So the gap could be all but gone by the end of the year, and if XBone sales drop from last year Xbox 360 might actually be ahead by then.
So it went down a bit , look at the patterns, once it goes down it goes up higher.Xbox will continue to outsell 360 if ms keeps it in production for the same amount of years as the 360. Looking forward to quantum break :D
Making more bundles base on their third party partnership also helps. I expect Madden and FIFA bundles to be announced and hopefully a Mass Effect bundle if MS got the advertisement rights for it :)
Let see if xb1 can keep up with xb360 best years.

I wouldn't be so sure. Xbox 360 had a big jump in 2008 (the year 2016 will be comparing with) compared to it's previous years, from 7.8 Millions in 2007 to 10.9 Millions in 2008. The Xbox ONE made just below 8.5 Millions in 2015, and without a 3 million jump like the 360 did the ONE will start to loose out every month more than it can catch up again during the holiday season
