You could've saved some time and simply reminded everyone that the Wii never hit 50% marketshare. That is exactly what you were pointing out, and it's a well-known fact.

 

I already explained this a few times in the thread, the curve was there to show the progression throughought, whether close to 50% or not, and at what point. More info never killed anyone.

If I show people that it's never hit 50%, or if I tell them as you prescribe, which is more effective in proving a point?

 

This: the curves in the graph clearly show that from 2007 to 2008 it was reasonable to think that Wii could be able to reach 50% or more market share in some years. From 2006 to 2007 it wasn't a crazy prediction, either, but shortages were still slowing Wii. From 2008 to 2009 the chances got thinner, but they weren't disappeared, yet. After 2009 every hope was lost.
