Shouldn't the first chart read "3DS lead" as it's the 3DS, not the PSP, that was out ion front and has now fallen behind into the negatives?
These charts always end up with confusing titles because of the naming mechanic being so unclear. Is it saying that the PSP is currently in the lead, or that the 3DS' lead is negative (aka the PSP is leading). Rather than "X vs. Y: X console lead" I think it should be "X vs. Y: X currently leading" or something to that effect.
PSP the GOAT.
