Friend-of-WYWG Dr. Richard Gaywood* created a rather informative graph showing the vast quantities of iOS games that have been released since the birth of Apple’s App Store.
I thought it might be even more interesting to see a graph in which the heights of the bars represented the number of years the various games platforms were around, and the lengths of the bars represented the average numbers of games per year, with the area of each bar thus standing for the total number of games on each platform.
I suggested this to my esteemed friend, but he demurred, and so I took it upon myself to remix his graph, the result of which you can see above.
It is, obviously, even more flawed than Dr. Gaywood’s original**, but I think it displays rather effectively his original point, viz. “WOW there are a lot of iPhone games.”
