Some other things I should've done when making the other changes to the front page recently. Separated the sections, noting that the Japanese data is looooong out of date, but the shipment data is still coming. Also finally added a direct link to the Static Shipments page that has been around for a few years, where you can find a lot of the relevant shipment data for a single machine without going to a Generator, plus things not shown there, like quarterly and yearly data derived from the totals.

This place remains mostly dead except for quarterly hardware shipment updates. That being the case, in talking hardware numbers I found the need for another type of comparison and made the Hardware Shipment "reaching for" Generator. The name isn't very descriptive--it could've as well been "in terms of", except that was already taken. Basically, this lets you compare an ongoing system to a finished system, and based on their comparison to the same age as well as what the finished system went on to do in its future, show how hard it will be for the ongoing system to catch up--or what other goals it might reach if it performs certain percentages better or worse than the finished system.

The first notable Garaph change in years! Though this place is mostly dead, one thing that has been kept mostly up to date on the database are hardware shipment numbers. At least the ones easily available to the public, which mostly means Nintendo. Anyway, the old Hardware Shipment Line Graph Generator, Hardware Shipment Bar Graph Generator, and Hardware Shipment "In terms of" Generator continued to work with new hardware releases, but I didn't alter the dropdown boxes for System-Region selection because it was a pain in the butt, they were already crazy long, and the #1 use of the site (me) knew how to manipulate the URLs to get the desired results anyway. Well, I finally decided to make it a bit easier on myself. The dropdown selections have been replaced with text input, and all the System-Region combinations are listed at the bottom of the pages. There are a lot, but most are pretty obvious: Common abbreviation, underscore, region (WW/JP/NA/EU, and very little O). Another underscore and SW for software numbers instead of hardware. Since again I am the #1 user, I haven't tried to explain all the reasons there are "old" versions of some, and this far out I probably only half remember anyway. Hopefully this didn't break anything!
