The 1st 1 looks better but the 2nd one makes more sense. I agree with Kingofwale, it should be a bar graph instead. But the numbers for the current gen don't really give a nice indication of the industry. It would be nice to add at the beginning of next gen though. Now the current gen sales are still too premature.

Conclusions I can make by looking at this chart:
- NES had the longest lifespan, PS2 will probably come close
- Next gen will start not sooner then 2011
- Microsoft will be the 1st to enter the next gen
- Nintendo is back baby!
- Xbox360 will probably become as popular as the Genesis
- No company has dominated 3 years in a row
- Handhelds should really be included
