Kinda seems ... I don't know ... unneeded, I suppose. The charts are all about the numbers, so there's no need to pretty them up, IMO.

I didn't like them the first time i saw them. My problem is i can no longer see the top 20 on a single screen. Now i can only see the top 9 if i maximize the window.

also, the missing million seller highlights is annoying. It made it so much easier to look over.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I dont care, really. Either way is fine with me.

well i don't really mind, but u can see it this way. The people who complain are just a small part of the community, why should they have more influence?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I thought that the charts looked cleaner without the pictures.

not a bad fan of them... though it is kind of nice to get the impression that, okay, these are the top selling games, we'll include a picture for emphasis. 

i'm sure i'll get used to them, but the image sizes are too uneven and just plainly too big right now. 

the links are now active, very nice.



the Wii is an epidemic.

I dont mind them, but I think there should be a divide between the top 10 and the remaining because right now it looks odd how the images just stop.

Or some kind of toggle to have boxart on all of them or something.



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

I either like the toggle idea, or make them smaller (50%?) - and they can link to the data pages for each game.

And it may be better, if every game shows its boxart (when known? otherwise blank?)? It does look a little odd at the moment.

Another alternative is to have a checkbox (or something ) that toggles boxart on/off.

(I personally don't care - I just want to see the numbers, and can click on a game if I want to see the art. It does pretty up the page though...)

Too big? Too small? Shouldn't be there at all?

I quite like them but there have been a few comments about them being "annoying" - are people just not liking change and will be used to it in a few weeks or do you genuinely think it detracts from the page?


 I don't like them because they ruin the uniformity of the chart. The pictures are only shown for the top 10 games, and of those the pictures can be of slightly varying sizes. Instead of a nice, even chart, the chart looks like this upon first scan:

1. FIRST GAME

2. SECOND GAME

3. THIRD GAME

4. Fourth Game

5. FIFTH GAME

6. SIXTH GAME

7. Seventh Game

8. EIGHT GAME

9. Ninth Game

10 Tenth Game

Then it becomes regulated, like this:

11. Eleventh game

12. Twelvth game

13. Thirteen game

14. Fourteen game

The regularity is much more palatable and easier to skim. That's my complaint.
