Sales analyses showing the growth and/or decline of various franchises, development studios, publishers or individuals could be interesting. For example, you could chart things like the rise of Grand Theft Auto or the rise and fall of publishers like Midway and THQ or individuals like John Romero.

I like this idea, although the subjects of the analysis will be limited depending on what we have data for. Haven't looked, but I doubt we've got very complete data for Midway, for example. 

Yep. That's the main problem for a lot of the publishers. Either there'd be incomplete data because the companies are rather old (Midway, THQ, Virgin) or because the companies are too new and rely on untracked methods like iOS and Android (DeNA, GungHo, King) or downloadable distribution (Devolver Digital).

It could maybe be done with more of the 90s companies like Take-Two, or by just showing growth/decline over particular periods (like the entirety of the 00s or the generally-accepted console generations). It's food for thought anyway.
