COD sold 1.9m on XB1, ACIV 840k, Battlefield 1.4m, Watchdogs 1m.

Yes PS4 multiplats sell much better, that doesn't mean multiplats don't sell XB1's. They clearly do.


They did back during launch, when people were not the wiser. This holidays will be different as:

 

1. People now know the PS4 is all around better

2. By the time multiplat season comes around, the NA gap may be as big as 1 million. That means 1 million people extra trying to get their friends on board.

I wouldn't say it was a "none the wiser" situation but more of a predetermined purchase situation.  For example having been a PS3 guy last gen, I naturally gravitated towards the PS4.  I think a lot of your initial XB1 pickups were the 360 loyalists doing the same thing.  Now that the more "hardcore" audience has made their selections we are getting to more casual gamer purchasing being the norm.  With that, I do agree with your two points.  People will be more inclined to pick up the PS4 and the PS4 version of the games, which will be taking XB1 purchases down a notch or two, even during large-scale 3rd party releases.
