Illustration of how little the total share between DS/PSP changed on a weekly basis.

src=

And the total share itself.

src=

Taken on its own the weekly share fluctuates, though.

An attempt to explain the particular peaks and valleys of the last image.

I wish for Ace Attorney Wii.

Uhh... US?  Japan?  It's not clear.  Anyway, looks like we had some sort of total software numbers, and knew something about how they split, but only enough to form a range of possibilities.

src=

And here on a monthly basis rather than cumulative.

src=

I guess this clears things up a bit.  We have a first party total, a third party total, and then the extra amount needed to reach the total total that we don't know where to put.

Somebody said Peter Moore reminded them of Salacious Crumb and asked for an image.  Not my best work.

Ahh, an early "recently obsoleted" comparison, where we see how GBA did after the SP released versus how DS is doing after the Lite released.

I don't remember the exact thing I was trying to respond to.  Maybe this was when we got some Red Steel scans, and people were arguing about how good/bad it looked?  But I thought that we couldn't tell much based on low quality low resolution scans, so I took some GCN screen shots and badded them up in a similar way.

Comparing the early sales of later models of GBA and DS.

Mr. Spinnington usually uses a John Goodman avatar, but also had one of Homer choking a panda.  I combined them.

src=

jko's avatar was using a native-sized version of this animation that got ugly when the board auto-scaled it to the width of 90.  I blew it up and added a blank border so it'd look right.

My Red Steel-inspired take on the assassination of Oswald.

I noticed in the E3 booth layout that Sony's space looked like a GameCube, while Nintendo's looked like a PS2.

I forget which GAFfer had a bet going on to sustain himself completely on tuna for a month.  I don't think it lasted.

src=

Poochy meets Poochie.  I believe it was in response to someone calling some character the Poochie of the Mario universe.

src=

Another view of E3 booths, possibly a different hall, looked like Stewie's head.

Prices of console systems in the US, in months from launch.

I guess jko didn't want Bartz so big, so I made these smaller alternatives.

An ugly proposal for a combined wiimote/nunchuk which would allow much more functionality by giving each hand the combined unique aspects of wiimote and nunchuk: analog stick, d-pad, and button on front, two buttons on back.  Certainly there are some ergonomic issues to work out, and it takes something away from the non-scary simplicity of the wiimote, but if Sony or MS go whole hog into waggle I think it'll be something more like this.  I notice the file name contains "revchuck".  I guess this was shortly before the name announcement, when we still referred to the wiimote as the "revmote".

src=

Somebody had a "Gay for Micro" avatar, and wanted a "Gay for Wii" variant.  This was my attempt, though I think he used another.

src=

My hand with a near-life-size wiimote.  Well, at least the somewhat smaller pre-speaker version.  I believe my thumb was trying to demonstrate where my proposed analog stick would go that would be in easy reach.

An animation from "Revolution" to "Wii".  I like this a lot.
