Your idea is very similar to a fiscal year aligned chart, but without giving the console launching in the holiday those extra months. Not a bad idea, but I would suggest including those year 0, so to speak, to tell the whole story of wii.

Hi PDiddy, I haven't seen the fiscal year aligned chart but it sounds like it tries to accomplish the same thing. 

I'm not really sure what you mean with the Year 0 of the Wii. My best guess is that you refer to the first November and December (2006). If that is the case, then those two months are what I have under year 1 month 11 and 12. 

If you notice, Year 1 is the first time the console was out for each month, so what you see in Year 1 is January - October of 2007 and November and December 2006. Basically forming the first 12 months of release. This is done with all the consoles, so the Switch has March-December 2017 and Jan-Feb 2018 all under "year 1". 

For me this seems to enable us to compare apples with apples. Obviously the launch month is a bit one sided, but the rest seem to be on equal terms. This "Month Aligned" Gap chart will match exactly with Trunks gap chart every 12 months.
