Yeah, about that. It doesn't work out linear especially on the Wii because of the strong upward slope of the sales curve, and PS3 is noticeably affected by the late EU release. Hence why it is tricky to work out properly, but you get the general idea.
I worked the figures in detail a few months back for some other forum (before I joined here) but I can't find 'em again. I'll gladly rework the maths if you can point me to some reliable numbers to work on (I think I used NPD last time, because if you get into worldwide there's a huge number of games especially in Japan that don't really get tracked over here).
Incidentally, if X360 started at 5 that really doesn't say much for its subsequent rate of sales compared with the other consoles.
Oh, and it is probably worth mentioning that the numbers are very sensitive to the holiday period. They go way up (lots of presents being bought) at end of year and slide down until about March before getting back on to some sort of recognisable line!
