ya i guess you could use a protractor if you found the exact center lol

Use the lines separating each console... where 2 of them cross (and the third would as well) is the center... them you can protact it... or you could always go by the perimeter.. since it is linear the proportion will keep.


lol i havent owned a protractor in 10 years.. lol

I never owned one, always used to borrow a mates in highschool, haha.

I do have a digital angle finder, though.

no. just taking that from the pie chart. but the chart isn't labeled. if it's these 3 platforms, these are the numbers. if it's other platforms....the numbers are different.

I don't think we'll know for sure.

Maybe is Nintendo, XBOX, and PlayStation...

WiiU+Wii; PS4+PS3; XOne+X360

Don't make much sense, Wii won't push WiiU bar and X360 would push more than Ps3 so the proportions wouldn't match (X1+X360 should be greater than this in relation to Wii+U and Ps4+Ps3 shouldn't be this big against it).

Wow even with the price drop and all that advertisement I saw, still couldn't come in first, even in their homeland, their best territory. Looks like Halo is the only thing that will save them, curious to see how HMCC will do.

I used a lot in high school I did my homework +20 people weekly =], but usually using more the compass [to draw circles].

There are a lot of possibilites.. I doubt cream will clear it up. All we'll get is the chart

 

Whistle, catering to the west is just gonna keep happening. Look at the PS3; got a beatdown by both competitors in the US and still sold almost 3x as much as Japan numbers. and you can see the declining trend in Japan through other means as well

for instance

japanese sales for PS1 represented 18%

japanese sales for PS2 represented 14%

japanese sales for PS3 represented 12%

as for nintendo; N64 - 17% Gamecube - 18% (ok went up 1%) , Wii 13%

The west (not just US), as a game market (for home consoles) is overpowering Japan. It's where the hardware and software is sold. So obviously companies are going to focus on it. It's why Sony's strategy is solid. It's also why Wii U is still doing better in the west than in Japan.

?Hmm I get like

PS4 -> 160 Degrees -> ~270k
XB1 -> 117 Degrees -> ~197K
WIU -> 83 Degrees -> 140k

Total 607k"

I just measured and got:

wiiu - 83.5 degrees
xbone - 117 degrees
ps4 - 159.5 degrees

so i'd say give or take 5k on wiiu / ps4



HylianSwordsman on 17 July 2014

According to my measurements:

Big slice: 160 degrees
Middle slice: 115 degrees
Small slice: 85 degrees

Based on Wii U being about 140k, this means:

If Wii U is small slice:

Wii U: about 140k
XBO: about 190k
PS4: about 265k

rounded to nearest 5k

If Wii U is middle slice:

XBO: about 105k
Wii U: about 140k
PS4: about 195k

again rounded to the nearest 5k

That's the best I could do. I measured the angles with a protractor, finding the center with the ruler side of the protractor by measuring the diameter and centering it halfway across.
