Aqua confirmed the exactly number for Xbox One.

77k.

The bad thing is even without the kinectless announcement, xbox one would have either just stayed above 100k or went below it by a small amount.  But 77k is just freaking bad.

In a Baird investors note sent out recapping developments at E3, the possibility of preloaded games is brought up. "One point of interest from our conversations at the show is the possibility that Sony may preload digital copies of Destiny and Diablo on all PS4 consoles beginning this fall (users still can choose whether to purchase), which should drive higher sell-through for Activision, but at the cost of retail sales," it states.

Retail games sold per console... Titanfall moved Xbox One tie ratio to 3... at least 50% of the Xbox One userbase in US bought it.
