Why are we still getting this chart, it won't change. Please add new charts such as ps4 vs 3ds, ps4 vs ps3 + x360, ps4 vs wii u + x1, or 3ds vs psp. Any other chart that might change or still has competition.
This is why eighth generation looks awful compared to seventh. The reason isn't because console gaming is dying, it's because all the fad followers who jumped on Wii did not return the next generation for another console. This isn't an industry dying: this is Nintendo deflating after it filled itself with hot air (aka casuals).
Did vgchartz REALLY feel the need to make this chart? It's just so sad...
