Because the graph is yearly sales, (not accumulative) some of those points don't apply.

the very final split between all consoles (look down the right hand side of the graph and ignore anything to the left) show the X360 and PS3 with very similar revenues.

That means for all the hardware and software (peripheral hardware not included) the X360 and PS3 took in similar amounts of money, what this means is that with a lower price tag the 360 still pullled in the same money, meaning it either sold more hardware to make up the extra cash, or it sold the same hardware, but more software.

 

 

But then the 1.5 year headstart apply and is putting the XB360 to shame then. Not even talking about DS and Wii which are far less expensive.

Well, it just confirms what we already know.

Erm no... the one year head start doesn't apply... the graph is not cumulative. If you want the total revenue you have to add the previous two "depths" for the X360 space.... which looks like in total it has made about 2 times the total revenue that the PS3 has in the UK... which to me shows they are both pretty much on the same path as each other, but the X360 started first so it has made more revenue in total. (despite being cheaper)

And yes, the fact the the DS and Wii, which are only 1/2 or less in terms of price, and have cheaper games, yet still made more revenue does show how well they are selling here.

In fact I am going to estimate (I'm not counting pixels though) the total revenue.... these are very vague, I imagine BKK2 has the actuals to be honest.

X360 - 50 + 400 + 450 = £900 million
PS3 - £450 million
PSP - 250 + 350 + 200 = £800 million
Wii - 50 + 550 = £600 million
DS - 150 + 350 + 600 = £1100 million

Although that graph looks to be only through 2007 (presumably September 2007)
