After being contacted by a well-informed GAFer I realized the NPD chart I had posted earlier was too low b/c the NPD has regularly revised their figures over time and my numbers were out-of-date (Nintendo's were particularly low - and that of course is a problem). So I've created a formula to 'revise' my numbers upwards and make them, hopefully, more accurate but different from the 'official' numbers, this way I can post them. I'm starting back in January 1994 where my data begins and will go forward from there so there are no LTDs yet. It's also right in the middle of the U.S. 16-Bit console war. Good times...
JAN-1994:
Also I will try and update you guys weekly with the next chart instead of monthly. And I may revise these numbers again if I discover they are off.
So talk about the Good 'ol 16-bit days...
(Is there anyway to get rid of that blank space around the chart?)
Updated w/ average SW prices.
