Neglected genres

No, we can see it from the NPD data here on these forums, eg it often went (when NPD ordered the platforms by units sold)

eg heres typical month, shooters bolded, xb1 leads ps4 in every shooter (though also the MS owned minecraft)

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
2. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
3. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
4. Star Wars: Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
5. Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
6. Minecraft (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)
7. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
8. Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
9. Lego: Marvel Avengers (PS4, Xbox One, 360, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Vita)
10. FIFA 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)

And that happens to contain 2 titles that were included in PS4 bundles which were quite popular at the time. Bundled games aren't counted in NPD game rankings. Madden which tends to do better on Xbox also shows this effect as it was contained in an official XBO bundle

Even with that, however, COD: BO3 managed to sell quite a bit more on PS4 at launch.

Combined with the bundles, COD: BO3 did significantly better on PS4 than it did on XBO. Difficult to dig up numbers for bundled titles, but SW: BF similar on both platforms when normalized to user base.

I would expect so given the overall 2:1 market Iead. I'd be shocked if any 3rd party games ever sold better on XBoxOne than PS4.
