Err, that was the month AFTER December. Sales peak on November and December and slowdown the rest of the year, specially during January when the spending spree is over. Also, didn't the chart literally read "Xbox One" and "PS4"? Not to mention that at the time, a lot of the Xbox 360 userbase was migrating to the XONE. Well, that and digital sales on the Xbox 360 were better than the PS4, but compared to this gen were positively tiny. The digital buying trend is something that started this gen...
Also, I hate to point out the obvious, but the XONE outsold the PS4 in Latin America, which is where most of the emergent markets that can afford to buy current gen consoles are. The only way the PS4 would sell more in developing countries would be if it sold a lot in Africa or SEA, and in SEA the internet is not much of a problem.
I also might point out that the PS sells steadily through the year, whereas the Xbox goes through boom and bust during the holiday months. January is naturally going to favor the PS4 when it comes to any form of market share, digital included... Revenue is not the same as attack rate when you can have two digital games for free every month and pay only one game per year (XBL Gold at $30 together with GwG makes for a killer deal)...

Honestly if your defense is Latin America which has a greater chance of a study internet then many places PS4 is that Xbox One isn't, I think we can stop there. The chart makes it obvious, your arguments are just looking silly at this point. Also I suggest you re-read the chart.
There is absolutely no sources that say Xbox One has a higher digital rate; however there are plenty of sources that dispute that. The information can also be derived from the chart as well. Your word means nothing. Show some facts for a change.

I have provided points and your only refutation has been the damned chart. You have also ignored my points that Xbox digital revenue is very low outside of holidays.
The onus of providing the information is on you. I have already provided you with very well known facts (no sales outside of holidays) that any random schmoo can provide you with and vouch for. It's you who has to prove me wrong by providing information that suits the particularities of the console. But I doubt you own one yourself...
You can look up the Latin American sales lead, and unless the PS4 is selling huge numbers in SEA outside the developed countries out there, that means the bulk of the developing world is Xbox territory...
