Another thing to consider is that when Microsoft first announced all of Xbones crazy DRM and always online stuff - that blew up huge in mainstream media. Everyone knew about it, even people that don't follow games on the internet.
When M$ backed off, that didn't really get that much mainstream coverage. Plenty of people still think the Xbone won't let them play used games or trade with friends. That's probably going to affect early sales.

I think VGchartz is decent for older sales because they tend to update with actual info from companies' financial statements and press releases
But as an on-going source, they are terrible.
