I love the visualization of gaming data following a timeline.

Here are some of my favorites.

Number of games per system, 1950 - 2021 (based on the MobyGames database):

Total sales of home consoles, grouped by brand, 1972 - 2019:

Unfortunately, there is no version including handheld + home consoles.

Total sales of handheld consoles, 1979 - 2019:

Unfortunately, there is no version including handheld + home consoles.

Total sales of handheld  + home consoles, 2000 - 2020 (based on companies' annual reports and VGChartz data):

Bestselling video games, 1979 - 2020 (some versions cumulated):

Bestselling video games, 1989 - 2019 (bundled games excluded):

GPU share on Steam, 2004 - 2020 (based on Steam Stats):

GPUs sorted by performance, 2000 - 2020. There are a few bad data sets (f.e. GTX 260 faster than GTX 280 - 295), but still a nice visualization:

If you know other good gaming related "bar chart races", please add them!

Total sales of handheld + home consoles, 1977 - July 2022

Bestselling Switch games, 2017 - July 2022:

Are there really 6.5k games on PS4 & 7k+ games on Switch?

Love those, used to watch them all the time and across a variety of subjects and fields. It's such a great way of visualizing trends and development. I also like the interactive map-style visuals in similar videos, like the one with axis and allied forces across Europe.

~8000 Switch games:

Nintendo.com: 12662 - 4069 DLCs = 8563 games

Nintendo.de: 7859 games
