A Simple Video Game Timeline

I'm gonna start off by saying you are a really big prick about this.

The first half of the timeline is meant to introduce the steps the industry took to get to where it is now.Sega, Nintendo, and Sony can all be traced back to the resurgence of console gaming from the NES. Microsoft, however, did not venture into console gaming until the Xbox.

I'm sorry I didn't include all of the Sega consoles but is it really that big of a deal?

The PSP was made to combat the Nintendo handhelds so it makes sense that it would be derived from the reason it was created.

The timeline branches off so that it isn't an extended line of clutter. I don't understand your idea of "striping." Maybe make a small example?

Again the beginning of the timeline is meant to demonstrate where it all started with the big players and then the end is supposed to show you everything in recent memory until present day. If I included every single game console I would not have been able to complete this for my deadline. It was an assignment for school I never claimed to be the encyclopedia of games history, it was just a fun thing I did and I decided to upload it for people to get a small bit of enjoyment out of, not overanalyse the shit out of it.

Again, the first portion of the timeline had notes because those were major breakthroughs and 'firsts.' Everything after that was less insignificant besides graphical changes.

The PlayStation is called the PlayStation because no one called it the PS1 back then. With NES, it is unclear whether Nintendo put their name in as part of the name or as a title. Just like the Nintendo Gamecube, or Microsoft Windows, we call both these things Windows and Gamecube. The SNES, however, contains Nintendo within the title and is therefore actually part of it.

I did not know VGchartz was bullshit.

I'm sorry the pie chart was off by 2 fucking percent asshole -_-

With the pie chart I am highlighting the lowest seller and it's just an aesthetic thing as well.

I'm sorry I included an M, I can see how troubling that can be. What was I thinking?!

There is a big ol' HARDWARE under 'portable video games' and 'video games.' I don't understand how that didn't clue you in. Also, it's clear from the XBONE, PS4, and WII U written on the pie. Unless you're a fucking idiot I'm sure you can understand that. Again, why are you being such a nitpicky douchebag.

I forgot to put the year but it is pretty obvious that those are years. Stop being so damn nitpicky. If you understood what I meant, don't be a dick about it. I can put whatever I want in the title, it didn't detract from the overall piece at all. Why would I include 'of' in the y-axis title? It fits nowhere.

I did not know you needed to include the date they were accessed.

Sorry is there a level of quality that is enforced on the internet? I thought I could post whatever I wanted within reason. Silly me thinking I had the freedom!

A finally, fuck off buddy. This comment is the most uncalled for comment in all of reddit. You were being a dick just for the sake of being a dick. I appreciate the criticism but you're a fucking asshole. Half of your points are so damn nitpicky and petty. Please show me some of your amazing work. Until then, go fuck yourself. :)
