To much acclaim, the sales tools have returned to VGChartz!
Yet as some have mentioned before, some tools are still needed. In this occurrence, the HW Cummulative chartz are needed, along with their aligned launch comparisons.
In the interim, the community is left compiling the numbers with tables themselves, and are at the mercy of the numbers whenever an update is made to the figures.
Here are some efforts by the community this far that I'm aware of:
Kowen's handheld aligned launch graphs

Spurge's 3DS to DS aligned launch analysis

Again, thanks ioi for the new tools. Our request at the moment is to get the cummulative HW figures available and to have the ability to align launches. This will help aleviate alot of the confusion in the threads, and keep people more knowledgeable. It's a good thing for the community and the reputation of the site.
Cheers,
