Famitsu gives total weekly software sales between systems in the form of a pie chart. I wanted to use that in combination with each hardware's total userbase to show how active it is. If a system has half the hardware sold of another system and also half the software sales, they're equally active. So I took the percent given in a week and divided by the userbase. I then multiplied by a billion or something so the Y value wouldn't be in scientific notation or crazy decimals. What can we see here? PS2's userbase is old and busted even though looked at alone software sales are still decent, PS3 and X360 are similarly active, Wii a little higher.

And the portable counterpart. GBA is old and busted, and DS's software advantage over PSP isn't just due to their userbase difference.

Rodney McKay (or I guess "Rod") in front of a big pie chart. I think the context was something about really smart people not messing with sales arguments, so I made a really smart person messing with sales arguments with a high-tech pie chart.

Similar to the "four terrorists" image from a year or two before, there was a group of mugshots released for... criminals. So I replaced each with a more recognizable face I saw some similarity to: Eddie Munster, Baal from SG-1, Phil Hartman, and Candy Crowley. Much more entertaining sitting beside the original.
