@VOLBANKER_PCYou forgot the most obvious one, PS5 simply outsold Xbox, so there simply are more PS5 players.

@RanzigeRidder2 Yes! I didn’t think of that. I did however write this about # of copies sold of the game:

“ The more players on a console platform, the more players will have a K/D of 3.50 or above, all other things being equal.”

@VOLBANKER_PC Number of copies sold of the game would be per rato related to the number of consoles.
On top of that, I don't know if Xbox has something like PS+ where the game has been on offer for free? As on PS there was a month you could pick up a free copy of the game for a full month, which would've boost the # of copies on PS even further.

  @RanzigeRidder2 I can't remember if it's been given away free yet like it was for PS+, but we can access a version* of it through Gamepass.
  
  *Might be the last gen version. I can't remember for certain and I'm at work so can't easily check.

    @ElliotLH It was given away on Xbox more or less around the same time it was for PlayStation, if I remember correctly. I remember seeing a flood of low levels after each release.
    
    I think the gamepass (EA Play) version is valid for both old/current-gen as well.
