You wanted to ask for help, what is it exactly you want help with?

Anyway its really interesting to see how the consoles have grown with time in both the U.S. and Japan. Well actually in the U.S. it has almost doubled in 6 years whilst in Japan you could say it has remained stagnant or shrunk for the last 5 years.

Find additional data or post it if you have it. :P

For example total revenues for France. (whatever ^^)
