Why not add the difference graph between ps360 as well?
This article is about comparing PS5 + XBS vs. PS4 + XBO. PS3 + X360 are just for additional information.
Despite this it could be added, since it's getting interesting, and the comparison can be simply double.
Here's the last gap chart comparing PS4 + XOne vs. PS3 + X360: https://www.vgchartz.com/article/453010/ps4-and-xbox-one-vs-ps3-and-xbox-360-sales-comparison-february-2022/
It looks like adjustments were made after this article, because it says that PS3 + X360 have outsold PS4 + XOne, which is quite the opposite of what is shown here.
I don't know why you are sending this. My comment was for a lead graph PS360 vs PS5/XBSX, not XB1 PS4, I know how this ended. If you want to look it I have thread where it's displayed in the correct way after adjustments. On the article you are giving, the numbers are different because XB1 wasn't adjusted to 58M at this point, it was still 51M.
