Would the owner sell the site?

And nor will it until there's an industry-wide consensus as to what generation it fits into (and if it's the start of a new one then we'll be waiting for at least one competitor to also launch so that we can introduce a meaningful new market share graph). |
So basically never as industry dosen't care about generations anymore, especially Nintendo. But since you guys care about it so much, how about "1st generation of hybrid consoles" ... problem solved.
It's kinda sad to think but by the time the Switch appears on the front page charts it will actually have outsold the WiiU in global sales
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Very much this, at this stage having the WiiU on there makes the front page of the site look like it was abandoned in regards to keeping up with numbers, I mean it might as well list sales figures for the PS2 would be more relevant in the second half of 2017

This doesn't make sense. Last Gen the Wii U wasn't shown until the PS4 and Xbox One appeared to have something to compare it to. The main issue is how do you account for market share using their current method. Its not a straight answer and we can't change years of calculating one way on someone's feeling without a practical solution. The main problem is what do you do with Wii U?

You do what Nintendo did with the WiiU, bin it.
The % between the systems makes 0 real world impact when you are talking about consoles which launched in the period between 2012 and march of this year anyway, what honest value is there in knowing that the WiiU sold 1/6th the number of consoles which the PS4 currently has, the WiiU for the most part is a dust collecting machine who's online services are in line to start getting turned off in the coming months, it has no future and the number of consoles it sold during the last 5 years is no indication of what actually share of the 2017 Market that console has.

Out of interest, what's the haps with the numbers on those three (I haven't been following lately). Over/undertracked?

So you're comfortable with saying the charts are going to have the Switch in them by February of 2018? Too soon! :P
| trunkswd said: These are the adjustments that I've sent over to Brett. If I could do them myself I would, but have no way of doing that. PS4: Up 600K Switch: Down 150K 3DS: Up 1.9 Million
Wii U: Down 390K

Shouldn't the XOne be adjusted too? As of the end of May, it's 170k overtracked in the US when compared with NPD:

Switch should be included on the front-page. Who cares about generations. Releases of systems are now so scattered, which, IMO, makes it difficult to classify something as generation x or y. But, that is just my opinion.
