The lifetime totals. 

It's not new for the PS4 to outsell Xbox One over two to one during multiple, nonholiday months. There have been months where VGChartz shows the PS4 outselling Xbox One three to one for multiple weeks during multiple months. So why is Xbox One always sitting at just above half of whatever the PS4 total is?

We all know the Xbox brand performs its best during holiday months but that shouldn't make up for the months that Xbox One gets outsold three to one or over two to one consecutively during the year. It also doesn't explain why Xbox One is always sitting at just above half of whatever the PS4 total is.

I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like weekly totals and monthly sales are reflecting the lifetime totals. Or it seems like VGChartz is changing their numbers to always have the Xbox One lifetime total sitting at just above half of whatever the PS4 lifetime total is. 

If Xbox One is getting outsold by over two to one globally during multiple months through the year, should the PS4 lifetime totals be greater than twice the Xbox One lifetime total?
