Wait, I thought PS4 + XOne had lost to PS3+X360 at the very end o their lifetime
it was originally, however after the adjustment of the XB1 of 51M to 58M, the chart got adjusted too and therefore the total final number of the PS4+XB1 grew from 168M to 175M, passing the 173M of the PS360.
It ruined the final twist of the PS3+XBox360 vs PS4+XOne, though. ;-;
