The video game sales wiki provides even more great data on console sales, unit sales, etc. - Let me know if that was what you were looking for.

We need it for some presentations we are trying to put together. Thanks!

I hope you keep up the good work and your database. However, it would be really nice if your site could feature more "one click" examples, where one can just click to some sample sales graphs links instead of sending out an SQL query.

I'm the guy who runs Garaph. For the most part the data there is straight from weekly web updates of the Japanese sales trackers, which I then put in my database. http://www.m-create.com/ranking/ and http://www.famitsu.com/game/rank/top30/ for instance. When looking at the <a href="http://garaph.info/weeklyoverview.php?week=2006-10-09" rel="nofollow">weekly view</a> for older data there are links at the bottom for the source of the weekly Famitsu data since they don't just overwrite the same pages each week. However, sometimes they get rid of old ones so plenty of those links are broken. Hey, I know this is an old article, but I just ran across it searching for things related to my sites.

Quite interesting round-up of 2008 and also featuring lots of graphs. To quote it: “While the industry may not break $25 billion in annual sales for 2009, given current economic conditions, it seems quite likely that it will do so by the end of 2010.”
Sounds like an exciting future.
