Hey Josh. Have you considered adding non-0-aligned running sums to linecompare.php? For example, let's say I want to see all the data for how the PS2 did in 2007. I want to see it as a running sum. But instead of starting at 0, I want it to start at 20,000,000 or whatever the PS2 was at as of January.
Basically, it'd be like doing a running sum graph of the ps2 from launch, except cropping the data out for 2007.
The simplest way of doing this would be something like (in a rush, didn't check the direct SQL page to get your actual schema)
"SELECT SUM(weekly_sales) FROM hardware WHERE date<'{$my_minimum_date}' AND console='{$my_selected_console}';" and dump that value into either the y axis origin and initial value or just the initial value depending on how you want the y axis to look on the graph.
Since you don't (yet) get paid for this, feel free to ignore the request, but I think it might be useful for a few things and I can't imagine adding the radio button and the SQL query to re-align the initial value is very tough.

Something like that has crossed my mind. One date for "Start summing from here" and another for "Actually display starting from here". As usual, knowing that anyone else wants to see a change puts it on a higher priority than the back burner. I'll try this out tonight, probably adding a new argument like &sumfromdate[0]= for each system. Then you could view PS2's 2007 as its sum from launch, or as its sum from PSP's launch, or whatever.Stumpokapow said:
You don't hear that very often, especially as an alternative to being published by Nintendo. How do you figure?Lobster said:

Nice work, Donny.
Honestly 150k for #100 is really good, and probably due to some "hidden long legs DS games" the entering point could be higher.

It'll be interesting to see how the PS2/Wii Haruhi games do in comparison. The PS2 one comes out this month, what about the Wii title? Has it even been shown?
JoshuaJSlone said:
Just seeing how well it was pushed by SEGA in PAL land on a week to week basis (NA too but we only get to see monthly rankings) and yet Japan rejected it.
Could be wrong and its Japan rejecting the game rather than Nintendo not pushing it as much as SEGA did.

Your seriously think WE2008 can't even hit top30?
Maybe even Yggdra Union can hit top30 too.
And don't forget the Gundam game and Musou OROCHI in February.

If GAF ruled the world:
"Scientists today have made contact with a parallel universe. The overlord French rulers of parallel earth have consented to a five question interview as a way of encouraging dialog between the worlds. First question: In your universe where Mario and Sonic was published by SEGA in Japan, did it do better than here? Second question: Is parallel universe Tabris a Nintendo fanboy? Third question: In the parallel universe, does the Trix rabbit get all the Trix to himself? Fourth question: What was the impact of the Warnes Bros exclusive HD-DVD announcement in the parallel universe? Fifth question: What's Final Fantasy VII Remake like?"

Curious penguin has visited said world and:
1: No - Europe is obsessed with sports and the trailer has pure game-play footage making it the kids game of choice over Xmas, on the kids console of choice. Sales were similar in Japan parallel universe, although pre-orders were higher due to free Sonic key chain.
2: Too early to tell
3: No - Trix are indeed for kids
4: Shrek being HD DVD only decided the format war
5: Just as bad as the original (I keed).

sure, and don't forget nSMB is becoming the biggest top seller game in Japan since (its father) Super Mario Bros, 5mln units sold... that's incredible
the only bad thing about last year, compared to 2006, is the decreased number of games which sold more than 1mln units, even if in latest weeks of the year we got 3 million sellers (Mario Party Wii, DS and Dragon Quest 4)

EDIT: I took the number from the wrong section ;_;
Me and my buddy are having a disagreement on this isssue.
he cant see how wii LTD sales have surpassed the 360s ww numbers.
and since microsfot has released a press release saying they are at 17.5 million WW and 200,000 past the wii of course gospel
do you have a breakdown of total japanese,total Us and even a decent estimate of ww sales for 360 and wii??

US totals as of November (NPD):
360: 7,893,404
WII: 6,019,795
Japanese totals as of December 23 (Media-Create):
WII: 4,463,951
360: 499,037
Japan + US latest numbers:
WII: 10,483,746
360: 8,392,441
There are no complete numbers for Europe, but Wii has passed 360 in the UK (360's best EU market) and has a huge lead (+1,000,000 to 500,000) in France. Wii also leads in Germany.
UK, France and Germany are the three biggest markets in Europe.

OK, I think I've got the feature Stumpokapow was talking about earlier working, but tell me if I've broken anything in the process.
Examples:
PS2's 2007, both alone in the old way, and as a total from launch
GBA's 2007 alone in the old way, from launch, and from launch of the DS
Graphic closeup of DS overtaking PS2.

Yeah, 1.2 + 2.7 is 3.9.
Even so, it is likely that Tekken 3 sold more than SSB because of how well the PSX did in "Other". It seems reasonable to assume that it'd sell at least a million in Europe given the system's success there and the sales in the US and Japan... but without actual numbers yeah, it's only a guess.

That can only mean that 360 sold 6m+ in Scandinavia and eastern Europe. There's simply no other way to interpret this information.starship said:
Well you got to hand it down to MS, with their 17.7m (shipped) announcement they seem to have persuaded the denser part of video gaming fans that they actually sold that much (or are coming close to it) and are having success in Europe. Kudos :lol .
