Basically shows the yearly accumulated marketshare of each console. Obviously we don't have much of 2008 data, nor any 2009/2010 data, but it's from my (being updated) comparisons, so it's in there for when we get to that point. I have 2 other graphs that show yearly marketshare in each region, but it's too big and i can't seem to shrink it down. It shows the breakdown of sales for each year. I'll continuing trying though.

Edit: Here's a link to the last graph, if anyone wishes to see it.


Interesting numbers. All three consoles will be stronger than either the Xbox or Gamecube this time around, so we won't likely see the level of market share domination we experienced with the PS2.


Yeah the GameCube and Xbox really didn't even stand a chance. By the time they were even released, the PS2 had very similar numbers in each region that the Wii has now. Worldwide the PS2 had 21 million at the end of 2001, and the GameCube and Xbox had a combined userbase of only 4 million at that point. It was over before it even began. Microsoft attempted to do a similar feat, but only managed to get about 7 million 360s out there before the Wii and PS3 were released.
