If xbox only has around 28% in the UK and US. Overall WW it's share is probably around 15%. Pretty low. 

Xbox One has a 17% share of FFXV global sales according to VGC. I'd expect the XBO's share for MHW to be much lower for a few reasons - Final Fantasy was multiplat the entire 7th gen, thus having time to build at least a bit of an audience on PS4. Monster Hunter, on the other hand has had zero connection to Xbox, but it has been on both the PS2 and PSP. In addition, Japanese sales of MHW will be more important for MHW than they were for FFXV. Because the XBO is nonexistent in Japan, the more sales come from Japan, the more disadvantaged it is.

It's pretty good

Nicely summarised.
