Sales Discussion Resources thread

For every job that must be done, there is a set of tools that fit the task!

Here you'll find a place where you can look for and use resources others may have already used, or will use one day, tools you would use in the realm of discussing video game sales, markets and business. In the midst of a discussion, at times, it may be tiresome to have to google up or craft everything and anything you may need to bolster your argument. For that reason, I've created this thread which seeks to offer links to any kind of resource you may like to have while discussing the video game market.

You will find everything from:

Charts
Tables
Calculators
and more as they come.

Would anyone want to give this up? If I knew where Acevil gets his Media Create so fast I would post it. Would you call it insider news? Also I will edit this post if you do not think it fits with this thread.

It fits the thread perfectly. I'm also looking for people to build tools so as to support the thread and discussion. I'll share more on this as it comes. For now, I'll start adding some of my personal charts and graphs I made for my own discussions. Feel free to contribute!

Here is an advance concept. Release a system with compelling software at the right consumer price point and it will probably be successful. I guess it doesn't always work...

That actually proves my point because they didn't have system sellers released and a consumer friendly price till about the holiday season. Not sure what system I was thinking of. Perhaps the GC but at least Nintendo still made money off that.
