Just a thought, but if this thread is really meant to keep track of the numbers in terms of that 50% marketshare element, shouldn't it show numbers in terms of that 50% mark?

I'd recommend doing it this way (using made up numbers, due to laziness):

Week Wii PS360 Winner Difference (Wii) LTD Change (Wii)
08/08/10 225,026 235,122 PS360 -1.1% 0.01%

 The logic, here, is that the difference is represented as a percentage relative to 50% (so in the example, the Wii represents 48.9% of the marketshare for the week), and then also included is the impact on LTD marketshare percentage going to Wii. Since the Wii is a little under 48.9% of the marketshare at this time (currently 48.5%), getting 48.9% for the week means that the Wii gains slightly in percentage marketshare.

EDIT: Just so people understand, I chose to use Wii as the "positive" just because one had to be chosen, and "Wii" is shorter than "PS360", so the headings of the last two columns is shorter.

Noooooooooo!!! Percentages are too harcore for my mind :(



Above: still the best game of the year.
