Them numbers for Xone version are quite nice! 

It only looks nice because Square or Microsoft decided to discount the game to like $35 to preorder it 

NDP places it at the 10th best earning game of 2016. Regardless of discounts and bundles on either console, it clearly didn't effect the success of the game. But the one day sale your referring to wouldn't make that huge of impact regardless.

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. 



Nice numbers for Last Guardian and FFXV

Perhaps Last Guardian can hit 1m in the west eventually including digital

I expected a 75/25 split, so X1 did alright in that regard.

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.

You aren't counting digital sales are you? Which wasn't as big last gen as it is now.

I am not saying the XB1 didn't do well.... you can't argue with FF15 sales on XB1 being better than most other XB1 releases so far. I am just saying  I expected it to be closer because the gap between the two consoles are really close now. I se your point though.

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.
