Ok...so does anyone know if you can compare certain time periods within a given console.

For instance...can you use the charts to compare Wii '07 with Wii '08?

If not, I think it could be a cool addition and probably wouldn't require much coding to implement.

I would like the chart back in which you could compare the different regions and how well a game sold there. However, I believe the charts you're looking for can be found in Sqrl's articles.

You could simply go to weekly chartz and put in Jan 07 to Jun 08.

Of course it is more complicated and less convenient.

It would make a nice addiction though.

Aren't Sqrl's articles static?

It would be nice to be able to compare second year histories for several different consoles...or to find the best Holiday season across different platforms.

I think there could be a number of ways that this could be used.

Was this intentional?

I use mutliple tabs to do that.... fiddly but it's the best way (and you could print screen and overlay as many lines as you want in photoshop if you felt like it)

We could do a lot of things...but the charts are so handy.

And since this is called VGChartz...I think no expense should be spared to create the most dynamic, informative charts that we (they) can.

We should introduce a pc games chart if anything

You're probably right.

And when I just went to the compare games chartz...they seemed really broken.

Like...when you try to type in the name of a game a menu is supposed to come down...

only it does't all the time...or right away. 

Seems to me the charts in general might need a little TLC.

I wonder who's in charge of those these days (ioi can't/shouldn't be doing all the work, right?).

If you just want a chart for right now I can put one together in like 5 minutes. But adding it to the site as a dynamic graph is a little more involved and something I don't really have the access to do. The best thing would probably be to PM ioi with the suggestion.

I think the easiest way to implement would be date selection boxes for all three data sets. In short each console choice would have two drop boxes with dates next to it and the 2nd and 3rd set could have a check box for "Same as above".
