Ioi: how about an overall comparison of generations? That is, how large this generation is (thus far) compared to last, compared to the generation before that, and so forth.

For example, it looks like the current generation is approximately 15 percent as large (thus far) as last generation.

A projection tool sounds nice.

You could insert a number for either monthly or weekly sales of a console, then have program automatically increase/decrease the sales by a percentage depending the season trends.

Of course it would be a really rough projection, but a neat little tool none-the-less.

A crude example whipped up in MS Paint:

(Sorry, but you'll have to zoom the image or right click and view it on its own)

Instead of having an "Initial sales number", you could have a drop down menu between the three consoles and use the current numbers for which ever one you chose.

Maybe you could go even further, and have these options for all three consoles on the same page, and put them on a projected chart like the one above... but with coloured lines.


 That would be great for the predictions Threads.

I would like to see, but I do not expect, some revenue data on games (at least on the most popular). This one may be hard to get the info. We could at least try to especulate the numbers on the more recent games. If that was possible then you could add more info like profit and estimated development cost. Maybe I am too ambitious on these suggestions.

I would like to see more in-depth predictions for sles over time, instead of having to work out them from weekly sales e.g. at this rate Wii will reach 10,000,000 units in x days. Some of the news articles have made predictions about Wii catching up with Xbox 360, I find that interesting - if you could factor in holidays I'd like to see what the results might be in a year's time if nothing changes.
