Take the numbers directly of the stores that are still live in the USA. Ps5 is sorted as is Switch, someone posted the numbers above. Forget overlap between ps4 and ps5 and region exclusive games. Forget ps3, 360, wii and wii U, the numbers aren't correct but they can't be that far off cuase it was before the indie bloat and mobile port boom. 

Everything will be from one source only. Either everything will be exact on point, or it won't be. It's not only 360 ps3 wii, there is XBOX platforms too, there is PC, there is PS4. It's too many, to just take 2 of them from the stores, where the numbers is off for sure, because of delisted games for example, or ovelapping and collections. And then leaving the other ones just as that, when they can be a lot off too. If wikipedia is not accurate, for the new generation, it won't be fully accurate for the old as well. However all the data is presented there, for all the consoles and years. I can't find another source from which to take it.

Well they're most certainly off as they are. That is no reflection of the last ten years to put in a graph, it makes it look like the industry is shrinking when infact it's growing massively via digital stores. The yearly data suggests stagnation which isn't true. 15k Games on switch alon, all three digital stores would cause damn near a cliff wall on the graph with how high the numbers would be when the graph gets to 2017 and onwards.
