What happened to the all-time console comparison line chart? The one that showed all the consoles together with a running total of all sales. I can't seem to find that chart anymore.

Just bare with it for now...the old stuff and improvements will come back soon I'm sure.

I (for myself) am re-working a semi-running chart of US video game sales for extrapolation and information. I'll upload it soon incase anyone wants it. It's a rather interesting chart, as I'm seeing actual similarities in current-gen systems with even the N64/PS1 race.

A few notes of interesting information: The PS2 is beyond a monster: It is tracking 12 MILLION units ahead of the PS1 at this time in the US. The PS1 sold about 7m units after this time in the US. The PS2 is tracking around 150% ahead of the PS1 every single month, for the past year. If that held true, the PS2 would sell around 60 million units in the US ALONE. 60 million. Or more. Nintendo axed the N64 at the same time to release the GC as they did the Wii. Ironically, for the first time in it's history. The GC should wind up with *around* 300,000 more sales in the US before its tracked no longer, thus giving the Xbox vs. GC around a 2,230,000 difference between the units. The Wii had (as known) the best 1st January in console history. Despite this, it's tracking behind the Xbox in terms of LTD sales. The first Xbox had the highest Nov-Jan launch sales ever since the PS1 (odd, hunh?) The PS3 is tracking in the middle of the PS1 and PS2 in terms of LTD sales. It had the best first January of any playstation model in the US. Those are the intersting notes, but here's the summary of this generations wars: After mulling over every single US number since 1995, here is the honest truth: Give up arguing, it's stupid. The console wars WONT be decided this year. They wont even be decided next year. Dec 2008 and Dec 2009 are the most pivital years of all 3 systems, and Dec 2007 will be very pivital for the 360, but not so much the others. No system really had complete dominance over any rival system(s) until that span. Yes, the PS2 had a large lead, but at year 2-3, it's gap just increased over and over and over. The same was with the PS1. One interesting note that the 360 might take from the PS1 era of gaming: 2 years to the month, the PS1 launched exactly a year early vs. the N64. Once the N64 launched, it nearly overtook the PS1s LTD in July-August. However, on Sept 1998, there was a huge momentum shift between the PS1 and N64 the LTD of the N64 was 4m units ahead of the PS1 at that point, and almost matched it total, despite being a year newer. From that month, the shift caused the PS1 to move ahead very briskly. The N64 ended up selling only 14m more units in the next 6 years, and the PS1 moved twice that. The figurehead game for that month that caused the shift? Final Fantasy VII. Never again did the N64 lead in any decent way, and the PS1 ended up selling 3m units that year in Dec. alone. Exactly 2 years to the month, the 360 will be releasing Halo 3 with GTA IV being included (most likely) with the Nov. NPD numbers. Could the same thing happen? It seems very odd that things are panning out the way they are - a struggling system that LTD didn't gain ground against Nintendo, only to have a few console-defining titles pull them into the lead for the next 4 years. No idea if that'll happen, but it happened 10 years ago.
