No competition.
@BraLoD You're overlooking something very simple, just flip the graph depending on which console is in the lead. The Graph is titled "Wii Lead" so the value should reflect that, the positive values should be changed to negative and the negative to positive. As it stands it's unintuitive and these graphs have had this problem for a long time.
