What can we do to improve VG Chartz?

[tsudo]

not sure if it's already been mentioned but...

total software sales for each console?

It occurred to me that when people sit around talking about who's going to 'win', what metric does one use to decide who wins? :)

Most number of consoles shipped by the end of the generation?

Considering that most companies lose money on each console, this seems a silly way to judge it to me - the console that shipped the most probably added the biggest hole to the company's budget :)

What's important is how much software was bought for that console over it's life.

I guess you can multiply consoles sold by attach rate to get this figure - I dunno.. but in either case just having a graph of the total title sales over time of each console would be interesting to see.

There are all sorts of questions about pricing etc, but that's the same for the consoles themselves (and at least we can safely assume that each s/w sale MAKES money for the company, unlike hardware).

Now, if this data is already presented somewhere on this site, then my suggestion is to make it easier to find :D
