These are the two most important factors and Rihanna wins in both.
Comparing their average album sales makes no sense when they don't have the same/similar number of albums released because it is normal that the more albums one releases, the lower average album sales one has

Rihanna debuted in a better sales climate, and released 4 albums in the 2000s with a rerelease when sales were high whilst katy released 1

Obviously she's sold more.
TD has outsold every rih album since it's release and up to 2 years before it.
Prism has outsold every rih album since it's release and up to 2 years before it as well.
