Possible 1X effect? People buying the big AAA multiplats to play on their 1X? Possible, although it's hard to tell just based on one week.
To get a real idea, we'd have to know 1) install base differential in the UK (not just recent sales ratios, but install base) and/or 2) previous platform splits for these types of titles. I don't know either. I would guess the install base ratio is similar to the US, which is, what? about 1.2 to 1, something like that? 55/45? I'm just guessing, but that's ballpark. And the previous platform splits I've seen have been all over the place, depending on the game, but in general seemed to favor the PS4 by about 60/40 -- although that's very much just my guesstimate, and I wouldn't put any real faith in it.
Anyhow, it'll be interesting to see if we can suss out (as the Brits say ... do they still say that?) whether the introduction of the 1X produces significant shifts in multiplatform purchase splits (i.e., whether people start buying more multiplats on Xbox than they did before). It would stand to reason, as that is the big selling point.
