I think we've seen signs of the userbase affecting this even more though.
For example, both PS3 and 360 got Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (Fighting game from Arcsys), while only PS3/PS4 got Guilty Gear Xrd (Fighting game from the same company). While on the subject of fighting games, King of Fighters 14 was announced to be a PS4 exclusive, while King of Fighters 13 was on both PS3 and 360. Tekken 7 has only been announced for PS4 so far, but no confirmation about it being an exclusive.
On the Rpg side, there's Star Ocean 5, only on PS3/PS4, while Star Ocean 4 was on both PS3/360. NieR was on both 360 and PS3, but the new one is PS4 only.
And while Shenmue 2 was on Xbox, Shenmue 3 is only on PS4 (and PC). The Dead or Alive series has been strong on Xbox, and the Dead or Alive Extreme games have actually only been on Xbox. But now Dead or Alive 3 Extreme is only on PS4. Etc.

Well, the fighting games had better performance on the X360, so there's that... Star Ocean 4 was meant to be a test to see if it could sell outside the PS brand (I think it did, but they didn't think it was good enough to bother turning it into a multiplatform game) and I am pretty sure that the new NiER has a lot to do with Sony, like with SFV...
DOA Extreme 3 will not be released on the West, which is were the XONE's userbase is based, so it makes sense it won't come to the XONE...
Tekken is the one that worries me. Shenmue's creator already said that he is not sure whether to port to the XONE or not, but Tekken has been multiplat for a while now, so Tekken 7 not appearing on the XONE would be a big red flag...

Good point about DOA Extreme 3. I forgot to consider that an Asia only release means that it would have to rely on the extremely low XB1 asian install base, so that should be the reason.
As for Tekken 7, it doesn't seem like a game that would want to avoid an Xbox release. I'd be surprised if it didn't get announced for XB1 as well. But if it doesn't then I'd assume Sony had a hand in that with some sort of deal. Not so sure about Nier though, since it's an action rpg, and Square has announced a bunch of PS4 only rpgs in the past year. I guess the action element might have been popular enough to do well on XB1, but I'll have to see how the battle system works first, and how they promote the game.
