Pre-TF boost? Plus every new game with any kind of appeal behind it this early in the generation will boost sales. PS4 in UK and USA was low on supply last week so couldn't enjoy a Thief boost, whereas Xb one has plenty of supply and could take full advantage of the Thief and Garden Warfare boosts, even moreso because PS4 was hard to come by.
It's still got to be a major concern that Xb one is getting 86% (this week) of its sales from only 2 countries. UK and USA are expected to be the main drivers of Xb one sales, but 70% would be a much more comfortable balance. Event when Xb one expands into all markets, it's likely that USA and UK will account for >75% of Xb one sales, if things continue the way that are. USA and UK account for 63% of X360 sales. Ultimately to compete globally Xb one needs to be at around that level.
