I still don't get that chart. But the article it's based on didn't seem to have any understanding of the current console race. They only mention the current consoles when talking about online, stating that the 360 has the best and Nintendo's suck (which is true). They don't even mention the Wii's features, or how the consoles are even doing. I think this article was written pre-E3 and sat on until a slow period.

The chart represents all Game sales as a total, and each colour is the proportion of sales from each console

I would agree with you that the chart does not seem to represent what has actually happened (see 2006/2007), and may have been out dated before it was used

The article talked about the game business getting far too expensive for developers this generation, so any console able to produce games cheaper with a large user base will have the edge when is come to profits and exclusives
