This Zoho DB application is very neat and the ability to create charts is fantastic (though I'm having trouble exporting as images). I think I might use some of the charts on the vgsales site. Do you have some script that automatically updates the database or how exactly do you enter in the new data? November 2006 was the earliest month that NPD officially released full console sales publicly. Before that, very rarely they would state a particular console's sales (like if it had a price cut). However, their monthly reports were almost regularly leaked. They can be found online. I have decided not to include them. However, you can get some older sales information from the company's official financial reports. Nintendo separates theirs into Americas, Japan, and Others. Hello, I just came across this blog entry.

Full MediaCreate + Famitsu sales data is pre-parsed form, right <a href="http://garaph.info/sqldirect.php" rel="nofollow">Here</a>! This way easier than manually cleaning the data from individual pages. I'll get this loaded when I have a break. Woah! Full MediaCreate + Famitsu sales data is pre-parsed form, right Here!

I'd love to find the Famitsu archive. I know the Media Create sales data figures are public, but I don't know of a good source to get them from. Thanks Henning. I’d love to find the Famitsu archive.
