We NEED this data in one place.

I shall update as time passes. 

All charts are up to the last full years figures.

All hardware is included, so for instance FY 2011 for Sony includes PSV + PSP + PS2 + PS3.

ALL CONSOLE SHIPMENTS:

Ninty had its lowest shipment year since 1995 in FY 2014 (end March 2015).

Combined hardware shipments are the lowest since 2000.

MICROSOFT - CURRENT YEAR IS NOT FULL YEAR YET - 1 Quarter to go.

AND COMBINED:

HOME ONLY:

Xbox shipments commenced in 2000/01:

Looks alright.

And I have a feeling they will be even lower next year.

Really?

Looks bad to me, and it will get worse.

me too.

Really horrible for Nintendo ... lowest since 1995, that's before even the GBC launched.

Sony should ramp up this year with more PS4 inventory, but Vita is a giant black hole for them.

Not really a problem. Looks like a slimming and focusing on the core demographic. I doubt software sales will fall as sharply.

Awesome. I love data like this. We need more charts like these!

This is just going to encourage the doom-mongers.
