It would be interesting to have also the PS2 in the equation. Are the monthly salesfigures available for that hardware?
Actually.....VGC used to track PS2 sales back in the day, I have some of the weekly numbers saved for later years. Problem was that VGC can't really track European PS2 sales, but still Sony gave a figure every quarter, VGC numbers wouldn't be that far off.
Gamecube, GBA, and X-Box as well used to be tracked. VGC should include 6th gen system sales because PS4 sales are comparable to PS2 sales, and same goes for WiiU/Gamecube and X-Box One/X-Box 1.
Do a PS2-PS3-PS4 comparision. It would be nicer to see both of Sony's older systems on the same graph.
The ps3 want available in Europe until March. Next month it will start to get interesting
