bo3 selling better on Xbox, had Playstation marketing.
F3 selling better on Ps4, had Xbox Marketing.

Am I missing something ?

Bundles are not counted in SW rankings, this might lower PS4 Cod ranking but when included I bet its higher on PS4. Same can be said to F4 on X1

Interesting to see that those third party deals Sony's been doing getting those favorable results. Third parties matter more.
 
NOT SO FAST! If we do the calculations Xbox one won.

At first it seems the PS4 won with 1300 consoles sold to Xbox ones 500 and Wii U's 15:

BUT then you realize Xbox one won. Why? Simple, because the Xbox one's

Bases of Installment™ is HIGHER! Of the 1300 PS4's only 10 are actively using them, for the Wii U's 15, only 3 are playing, but all 500 Xbox ones sold are being played:

See? Bases of Installments™ or BOI® is the right measure for the winner.

Amazing month for PS4.
They are dominating not only in hardware sales but also in software sales.
All the biggest games are selling more on PS4 (except for COD but that can be explained with bundled copies not included in the chart and COD historically being a strong Xbox franchise).
Tomb Raider is a total bomba.
Halo 5 outsold by a mediocre Need for Speed....ouch.
Fallout 4 was a wasted partnership for Microsoft, they could have done much more with that game but similarly to what happened with other RPGs like Dragon's Age and Witcher where they had the marketing deals the games ended up selling more on PS4.

Btw this holiday season is proving that people buy consoles in this period to play the biggest multiplatform games on the console with the best value and that's pretty much it.

PS4 did phenomenal numbers in November. It's fair to say the $50 reduction played a role in the huge increase in sales.

Eager to find out the sales numbers for Tomb Raider. With people saying their store sold zero copies, you have to wonder if it did better or worse than NBA Live.
 
Another (anecdotal) nail in the coffin of "exclusive marketing = better sales".

Microsoft had Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 this year, both of which sold better on PS4. Sony had Call of Duty which is selling better on Xbox One.

Of course, not including bundles, but....

COD has been an Xbox marketed franchise for almost a decade now, that audience isn't going to flip overnight.
