I had a thread posting charts at the end of 2021, rather than dig that up I thought I'd create a new thread and start doing it again. This thread contains charts for both global and japan comparing sales of various systems launch aligned. Global sales will be updated using monthly data rather than weekly data to reduce the amount of work I need to put into this and due to VGChartz now releasing a months data at a time.
The databases of information I have used are now public: Famitsu Sales Database for Japan and VGChartz Sales Database for Global.
