Nice way to spin numbers. Also it's not really surprising for the Xbox One more expensive and available in less countries. Someone already said this so I'll just reiterate their point. 

The PS3 was more expensive and released in less countries than the X1 and, yet, they're about similar in sales.

PS3 wasn't truly more expensive, the standard version cost $500, same as the Xbox One, the initial $600 premium model was discontinued due to poor sales so you know most of the sales came from the $500 version. And though the PS3 released in less countries, the total size of the gaming markets are comparable.

When the $600 PS3 was discontinued 9 months later for... another $600 PS3 with a bigger hard drive. In any case, that is not relevant to the first 4 weeks of January which is what the graph is showing.

As for the gaming markets size being comparable, no idea how you came to that conclusion.
