Actually numbers do lie if you use them the way you did. You're simply jumping to conclusions.

Both points you made are not proven by the numbers. All the numbers tell us is that at the moment the xb1 has a higher attach ratio. Why? It could be for a number of reasons.

It is possible that some people bought a ps4 because they had the money and wanted to have it asap even though they're mainly interested in Uncharted.

Others may have been busy playing all the free games they got with ps+ and the ftp games.

etc

Arguing that "Xbox exclusives are bigger than ps ones" based only on Killzone (which has received lower than usual reviews), Forza and Ryse is beyond silly. Had it been uncharted 3 or Gran Turismo 6 selling worse than Forza and Fable, then maybe you'd have a point. As it is, you're simply jumping to conclusions.

Both of your arguments don't hold any water at the moment. 

Firstly, GT6 is underperforming and Uncharted 3 is not a ps4 game, well neither are. Secondly, you just left out conveniently one if not the biggest fps exclusive, Halo. And thirdly, we are talking about ps4 and xbox one software sales, and as far as I know, none of the 4 games you mentioned were released on those consoles (at least not a mainline entry).

You are just speculating trying to justify. My point still stands: software numbers looks better for xbox and this is proof enough that the xbox exclusives were more interesting to consumers than ps ones, no matter how hard you try to spin it.
