VGChartz Chart Thread

I have a tendency  to get too lengthy with my posts, so I am going to summarize the point of this thread in bullet points.

Thread Reasoning/Purpose:

  • VGChartz ironically have few charts these days, and instead uses tables to display most of the data available to us.
  • I have seen other VGChartz users talk about charts they make on their own to look at VGC data.
  • It is hard to create a successful thread with just one or two charts because there is not enough to talk about.
  • I want to create a thread where we can all post and update the charts we make, so that other people can see them, and individual threads won't die out so quickly.

Charts Allowed:

  • Anything that uses VGC data.
  • Software or hardware related.
  • A onetime chart or a chart you update regularly.

Encouraged Discussion:

  • Anything related to charts posted in thread.
  • Interpretation of posted charts.
  • Requests for a specific chart to be posted.
  • etc.

I'm hoping we can get a lot of great charts posted in the thread! I'll be posting a link to the posts that contain charts here in the OP.

Recent 3D Mario Titles

Description: Wanted to look at how recent 3D Mario titles have performed, with Super Mario 3D Land getting ready to release worldwide. I'll be updating the chart to include Mario 3D Land in the coming weeks.

Uncharted Franchise

Description: First 10 weeks worldwide of the Uncharted franchise. I thought it would be interesting to look at how Uncharted 3 does now that it  has released.

 

I've been trying to get more familiar with  html and pivot tables/charts, so I've made a blog site where I am posting interactive sales charts (can sort by region, week, etc.) if anybody is interested.

Where did you go to get those graphs? Is there a button on this site that makes that happen?

No. I made them in excel. That is the point of this thread, since there is not a button like that, I want anybody who does make charts using VGC data to post them here so we can all see them.



This should be an interesting thread.



Am I the only one who used the previous annual charts? I have heard no comments whatsoever about their recent disappearance from the site. Their absence has caused me a whole heap of turmoil in my profession. Does anyone know if they'll be returning or do people have no use for yearly figures any longer?

I'll keep my fingers crossed!
