Hi all,
I made this recently and thought it might be a useful comparison tool for those who are interested in aligned launch sales of each console. The first graph shows aligned launch sales for PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Gamecube, Wii and Wii U.
It's a bit messy so I've created additional graphs which show less data in a cleaner format.
Please take note that -
Please also understand that because it is an aligned launch graph that it means for example the PS3 is shown as outselling the Xbox 360 below but the Xbox 360 actually launched a year below PS3 and had a year + 10 million sales headstart. What this does tell us is that PS3 sold faster in the same amount of time and closed the gap relatively quickly early on.
Please take a look-
GEN 6, 7 & 8 Cumulative Hardware Shipments for first 50 months.
GEN 6 Cumulative Hardware Shipments for first 50 months.
GEN 7 Cumulative Hardware Shipments for first 50 months.
GEN 8 Cumulative Hardware Shipments for first 50 months.

Xbox, Xbox 360 & Xbox One Cumulative Hardware Shipments for first 50 months.
