Square/Enix games don't count either. Plus we must remove all the Naruto games from the list to get an accurate measure.

Actually those charts are missing a bunch of games.

More than 1,000 of them. But I guess not.

Not sure if it's possible with what you're using, but that chart would be infitely easier if you ditched the legend on the right and put the platform name before or after the number. And also if possible put the numbers/platform with bigger pieces, inside the graph. I only say this cause it's a pain to have to check the legend to find everything. There are so many different items, and the point of pie graphs is quick reference. If it's not possible, sorry.

Haha, I checked hudson OHP and it didnt have a delay. Well there is hope now.

I was actually already thinking along those lines.Hyllian said:Apply some 4xAA, please.
Not only a nicer looking graph, but could more accurately display smaller differences.Good suggestions. Taking a quick browse through the documentation I think most of that should be possible. Trying out the example code right now I'm getting some errors, but I'm sure I can iron things out.GreenGlowingGoo said:

Something like this is getting closer. It would be better if I could automatically get the ones inside the graph to use a line break and the ones outside not, though. And it seems weird that the PS2 text has gone inside while the larger PSP one didn't. *shrug*

JoshuaJSlone said:I'm just beginning to experiment with keeping data in SQL and making graphs with PHP, so hopefully in the future I'll have some more interesting things that can be displayed on demand. I think the first thing I'd like to try to do is make a pie chart of weekly data that adjusts in size with the total, so a pixel one week has a value equivalent to a pixel in the next. For now I've just "pre-baked" a few pies to familiarize myself with JpGraph, which I've only been using a couple hours.
Here's a graph using the unconfirmed hardware numbers that popped up with the software numbers in the last thread. I tossed small GBA and Xbox numbers in there for now.
And here are links to the smallest and biggest weeks of the past year.
can you please turn the chart so that the DS looks like pacman eating the competition?

DS Lite says "WAKA WAKA"
Thanks!
:lolJonnyram said:
That's a possible explication. I agree with you.
Fuzzy said:That still leaves 7 million DS owners who didn't give a shit.
But seriously, wasn't the shipment figure for NSMB 1.3 million so far?
Hadrware shortages + Software limitation = Poor Software's sales in general for the support. In fact Brain Training Series and Animal Crossing are down.
About the data on Everything and Nothing, it is not complete, so looking at total sales on blah vs total sales on blah 2 isn't going to be totally accurate, but is a guide only!
And the Pacman chart is here to stay! I might try experimenting with that myself on E&N, is it easy enough to implement Joshua?

wow. The chart is packed with DS million+ sellers...and I guess that's all the shipped copies of NSMB sold...shortages await.

Looks like the Brain Training games might pass Animal Crossing afterall.

I like the name Wild Fire. It says "working title" but I hope they keep it.

I know I am not the first to say that, but the weekly japanese sales chart is seriously getting more and more boring each week. It's good to see the DS getting the love it deserves, but always the sames damn games . Come on, next generation consoles! (lawl Xbox 360) [/complaint]

SUICIDES?! Hardly. I doubt highly that Sony fans will willingly attack their own weak points for massive damage... KIDDING, KIDDING!! Don't stone me! :lolRazoric said:I predict many bannings and suicides.
But yeah, as boring as the charts are now, things will definitely hit their all-time peak during the system launches. I'm predicting the first 500-page thread.

The pie chart seems easy enough. I've actually not yet taken data from a database to it yet, but it should be an easy step. As for Pac-Man himself... making a piece yellow should be simple, but I don't think finding the correct location for the eye automatically would be. :lolioi said:
EDIT:
I'm just going to slip this in as an edit so I don't keep bumping the thread with my minor progress reports. If you go to an URL of the format http://joshuajamesslone.name/gamecharting/test7.php?date1=2005-06-06 , you'll get the proper pie chart for that week. YYYY-MM-DD date format. Must put in a Monday or it will freak out. Everything from DS launch to last week's numbers currently available. Some of the text doesn't have much contrast with the background slice, but hey, work in progress. I definitely know I'll be able to make things so that each system has its own constant color, whereas now that depends on their order for the week. I'm not sure if I can do the same for text color, or even if that would be preferable since you can't tell from week to week whether it will be displayed in or out of the pie... I suppose there could be a way to make them all display outside of the pie.
