Fist of all, thanks for the great job. With Salnax not being able to do it, it's good to see someone making a step forward to do it and doing it so well.

As for suggestions:

+ Colous. I had this discussion with Salnax too when he did it, but I think you should change some colours. Blue tones for Nintendo consoles are ok, and greens for Xbox are ok too (although I don't like that brown on MSoft's published games, specially because its for games on 3 platforms but since they only have 1 vote you could list just the voted platform), but I'll have to make a claim for Sony, PC and Multiplatform games.

I'm sorry but PC games can't be in grey. Grey is a 'meh' colour, it is undefined, the best example of the result of a mix of two colours and therefore it should be the colour for multiplatform games. With multis being grey you can use orange for Sony console games, after all orange and red melt together much better than yellow and red, and use yellow for PC games.

For colours, you want PS4/PS3 to be Orange/Red, multiplatform titles to be gray and PC yellow? What colour should I use for PC/Console exclusives (something Microsoft is notorious for). I want to keep them separate, but I don't want them the same colour as regular multi-platform games. Sounds good, I'll change it for next month, and possibly make PS4 red and PS3 orange (since PS3 won't be around as long).

Given that we won't agree on where the points will go (I see your point, though) I'll go to the other things.

It's not that I "want" the colous to be that way, it's only a suggestion. You can use the ones you like althought I still think that grey should go with multiplatform games: it doesn't make sense to give them a specific colour as they don't have a specific platform, but since they can't be left white as that could be confusing, grey is the best option. Again, at least for me.

The 360/X1/PC situation will fade soon, as less and less games appear for the 360 so it's not something worth thinking about. The same is true for PS3/PS4 games. It's just that searching for that brown when those games had only 1 vote, seemed like a waste of time. Just list the platform they were voted.

+Graphs. No problem with Points per platform, but with the other two it could be better for us to read it (and possibly for you to make it) if you limit the inputs to 10. For example, in the "Points per Platform" graph only 8 publishers (until Atlus) have >2% of points, and you even have an others section. Limiting it to 10 inputs would have much of an impact:

*snip*

Or alternatively, you could make a sub-graph to include which are those others:

And the same is true with the Points per Genre graph.

 

Just my 2cents .

How did you make that pie chart in a pie chart? I also felt the graph was a bit cluttered, but I had a lot of work to submit on the same day as Most Wanted, and I didn't want people to wait. I think I'll likely just do your suggestion about restricting it to 2%+, but for consoles, since there are only 8 platforms (PS3, PS4, Vita, 360, XB1, 3DS, WiiU, PC), I'll keep them all, even if something like 360 only accounts for 0.1%.

It's an option in Excel (I have Excel 2007), simple as that.

Oh, and it's ok to list all the platforms, that's why I didn't mention it.
