Huh?  Who cares about game sales, then?  Why is one slice of the pie more important than the others?  Of course I'd love to know how well DLC and microtransactions are doing.  I want to know it all.  It's all part of the industry.  More importantly, it's all part of how the industry is changing, which makes it even more important to understand.

Because game sales are more important. Ya know, since that shows how many copies of a game were actually sold and thus how well it did and how likely dlc/sequels are.

But hey if you just want a chart filled with COD map packs and FIFA points...

I guess you don't know but they're able to do sub charts now.  Technology is crazy.

Look, I get that you only care about one thing but you're hardly everyone and your "more important" is bull.  Revenue is more important than units sold.  That's kind of the point of the OP and why only looking at initial game sales is part of the picture.  It's not about keeping your charts orderly and simple, it's about understanding where the industry is heading and why.
