On the Americas and Japan graphs, would it be possible to put like a 'star' - * - icon to denote when a price drop occured? It would be fascinating to see the context and effect of a price drop. I know it would take a while, but price drops do not happen all the time, so it would not have to be updated regularly. If some some of pattern emerged about the context for when price drops happen, it could be incorporated into the "insight" used to arrive at sales numbers when estimates are needed for Others, or updates are needed (pre-NPD release) for American estimates. Off the top of my head there are like 3-4 official price drops per system... Call it 3.5 SNES, GEN, PS1, N64, Sat, DC, PS2, Xbox, GC, 360, Wii, PS3, DS, GB, GBA, PSP, Jaguar, Wonderswan... Heh..I guess that is like 60*s... Perhaps it would be easier to put the * in the sales data than the chart. That would make it possible to see how well each console sold at a given price.
