I just wanted to point out a couple of new additions to Gamer Investments.
Under Pages on the right side bar I have added two new links Game Rating System, and NPD Graphs.
Game Rating System is a rundown of what our rankings mean in the video game reviews.
NPD Graphs currently has two graphs within it. One is a monthly US sales chart of the Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 since their respective launches. The other graph is a percentage break down of the current state of the console race in the US. Both graphs use NPD sales data, and will be updated monthly when new numbers are announced. As of right now the graphs appear to small to see properly, but if you click on them a full size graph will pop up.
I have plans to add additional information to the NPD Graphs page, but for now I just wanted to get the basic graphs up and running.
Head on over and check out the new pages, and the existing ones if you have not done so already.
Happy Investing!
