Because lines help show the progression of the sales totals? How do they mislead users?

But there's no progression of the sales total, PS2 has to start from 0 unit sold on, same goes for xbox 360 and all the Nintendo consoles.

Line chart is the wrong choice here, there should be a bar chart instead.


A bar graph would work, except that it would just show total sales for each system compared to all the other systems. This line graph shows each companies total sales through the generations. It's not showing one console sales from beginning to end. It works as is, and it can also be used to compare any two consoles, though a bar graph would serve better in that case.
