The attach rates is why some companies don't mind being exclusive to XBOX. Despite ps4 having a 1 million+ install base lead a majority of the year, several games sold better on XB1 and there is still a ton of 360 support.

Those games sold better on Xbox because Xbox sold more in those months. It's that simple.

Higher install base = Higher Sales

Although the PS4 has the advantaege in install base in the US, it is still quite small so new software releases will tend to sell better on the console that sold the most in that month in particular.

For the year of 2014 X1 sold more of Minecraft, Destiny, COD AW and COD Ghosts than PS4. While that doesn't include bundles that was the point he was trying to make when saying "several games sold better on XB1".
