Added PS4 2017 since its above NSW 2019.  NDS 06 and 10 could be added too as they were >20M years - I'll consider it, but this list will eventually be dominated by NDS/NSW and everything else way behind.

Also added a rolling 52W calculation for NSW 2020 and 2021.  NSW 2021 finally hit NDS peak figures and crossed 29M mark in early March.  We might see it surge past that in June/July and crack 30M.  NDS peak is calendar year 2007 (2008 is 53W).

Made that data into a bar graph. I added the PS2's shipment data between Janurary 1st-March 31st of 2005 to be able to include every console in history. Unfortunately there's no sell-through data of the PS2'S first quarter anywhere on the internet so I decided to use shipments even though it is subject to be completely wrong when it comes to actual sell-through between that time period. Plus I did a little estimation for the PS2's shipment data since it doesn't include the time period between March 31st and April 17th. But other than that all the sell-through data is spot on.

I think PS2 "shipment data" is different from what Sony provides today (PS2 - units produced, PS4 - units sold-in to retailers), which is why PS2's holiday quarter shipment figures often seemed weak (holiday production happened in late Q1 and Q2, this is why PS2 hit a peak of like 8M "shipped" in Q2).  So don't know if this is comparable to the others.  But regardless PS2 exceeded 20M shipped twice so it would have definitely would make it on this list if we the equivalent VGC numbers.
