Thanks, PS4, I guess.

Both versions pulled their weight. Im not sure what your trying to imply, but the Xbox One sales for FFXV are a lot better than many could have hoped and Square-Enix is probably going to continue to support the console in the future. 

Probably because FFXV would have released sooner if there was no Xbox One holding the game back?

Yes, both versions did well.

I don't think a 3:1 advantage in favour of the PS4 is great though, being that this is NA we are talking about and the PS4 has nowhere near that kinda market lead over the XB1 in NA. And this isn't even looking at worldwide numbers. If we gpglobal and the numbers after a year reflect something like 5M:1M in favor of the PS4 you still thik thats graet? 

I really expcted no more than a 2:1 ratio in NA.

Im not sure why you'd think that. The breakdown is similar to how FXIII sold on last gen consoles, which is even more impressive for the Xbox One version seeing as how the Xbox 360 was ahead of the PS3 while thats not the case this gen.

Actually the split for FFXIII in the US was 63% PS3/37% 360. The percent shift is still pretty significant even though it's not 80% PS4/20% XB1 like in the UK.

When you take into account the smaller install base and digital sales, its not hard to argue that the Xbox One version of FFXV outsold the 360 version of FXIII. The actual take rate for FFXV is higher than FFXII. 

It's not even that much considering how they pretty much discounte the game before it launched. And to think that alot of those of those xbox 360 players probably move on considering their base was too old or those consoles probably RRODed

Smaller install base worldwide, but the XB1 is still ahead of the 360 in the US launch aligned.

That doesn't really matter though in this context. The Xbox 360 was at 20 million when FFXIII came out, the Xbox One is at or around 16 million when FFXV came out.  

Again, RROD.
