Video Games (1975-2011)

In: Culture History Internet/tech

Games by genre, and games by platform. Labeling the axis might have been useful – I assume it’s supposed to be percent of total, with the space at top “other”? I tried to find the original source for this, but had no luck.

I kind of hate charts like this. The higher up in the chart you go, the harder it is to tell if the changes in the size of the different components (in this case, the platform or genre) is due to a change in that component or one of the components below it. You can tell by examining it more closely, but it’s not immediately obviously by looking at it.

Thank god, the amount of games on micro$hit platforms (win$hit, $uxbox) shows decreasing tendency. I hope m$ will die.

I believe the original source for this was Bloomberg Business Week. I get that magazine and it was in there about 3 weeks ago.
