I've got to say, I'm surprised by how much the BO3 marketing deal+timed exculsive DLC appears to have mattered, currently in monthly rankings, the PS4 version is at 27, while the XBO version is at 56. For comparison, in august 2014, the XBO version of AW was at 45, while the PS4 version was all the way down at 97.

*Note: I'm only including standard editions

I don't think its purely the marketing deal but it you have got to factor in Halo 5, Alot of played CoD yearly and many will be left with a Day One choice between the 2 and may opt for a change of their regular CoD with Halo 5 this year and grabbing CoD after the holidays. 

That could explain the slight YoY drop for the XBO sku, but it doesn't explain the PS4 YoY increase.
