The problem is that the graph is designed to show marketshare in the current generation. Right now PS5, XSX/S, and Switch are the current generation between the big three. 3DS and Vita had their own market share comparison while PS4, X1, and WiiU were counted seperate. You cannot just add PS4 and X1 where 3DS and Vita used to be, because it would create a problem when you tried to illustrate the percentage of the current market in the graph. PS4 and PS5 would conflict with one another, and to a lesser degree, the XBox consoles would as well. I feel it should focus on the main three devices on the market, so we can see a more accurate picture of overall marketshare in the current generation. |
I don't think there is a problem illustrating the progress of the big three if you show the prev gen on the same graph. Especially if you keep the spacing.
The Playstations and the XBOXes _are_ conflicting right now. The mains are in limited stock and there are a number of people who are not waiting and are going out to buy the previous. The previous flagships are still selling significant numbers and it is good to show what there current lifetime sales are, not hidden behind a dropdown most people probably don't even notice or use.
