Two exclusives on Xbox one(Forza 3 and Gears 4) can easily explain why there would be less sales of the Xbox one version.  But, nevertheless not sure why they would even make that statement was anyone expecting the Xbox one version to outsell PS4 in any of the regions(Doubt it!). 

Yeah that doesn't help that MS released most of its games at the holidays.  By the way I don't expect the xb1 versions to beat ps4 version but I do expect similar sales in US and UK depending of the genre.

You kind of make the point as to why it would be lower on the XB1 vs the PS4.  With 2 major XB1 exclusives wrapped around the Mafia3 release, the gaming dollars are being spent elswhere on the XB1.  So, the sales of Mafia 3 on XB1 are going to likely be lower today.  A few weeks or months down the line, the weekly sales numbers in those regions will probably be the same or similar on XB1 asnd PS4.   We will have to wait and see...
