It wouldn't be that hard at all.  Though I like the look of the highlight better then the underline alternative.

Edit:  Scratch that I went back and looked at the new features I added to the parser... heres the legend for it as of right now.

Quote

Game- Nintendo System Third Party
Game- Nintendo System First Party
Game-Sony System
Game- Microsoft System

I'm using underline to symbolize Microsoft system games because I wanted it to be less one sided.  I even thought about bolding the First party of theirs as well and thought it looked to confusing.  If everyone would prefer I could ditch the underlining of Microsoft system, reallocate that to Third Parties, and keep Sony and Microsoft looking the same.  In all actuality it would matter more on the NPD numbers but they don't give the publisher so I could use the scheme for that possibly if I get a copy of the numbers.

[KDR_11k]

Don't use bold or highlight, makes the whole thing hard to read.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I don't think bold is bad at all, but highlights tends to be a little too much, thats why I only hihglighted the (Nintendo) or (Pokemon) as the 1st party publishers.

[Ceric]

*shrug*
I find it pretty easy to read but if you want it changed just let me know what you want it changed to.  As mentioned before colors be best but we can't do that.  I could mark them with a symbol to differentiate them but I think that would mess up the spacing.

How about something like that?

Game- Nintendo System
Game- Sony System
Game- Microsoft System
- First Party
- Third Parties
- Ranked in the top ten I think for the month (Second number)
- New game

I'm not to fond of the || bars but they're needed for seperation.  Though the icons probably need moved somewhere different I do want them before the links.  

[KDR_11k]

Ooooh, electronic kanji drills! Didn't know the DS could work as a power tool.

[31 Flavas]

Honestly, I think the chart is waaay to busy. The differentiation that bolding, italicizing, underlining, give is destroyed when everything is bolded, underlined, or italicized.

So just pick one or two things that should standout. Maybe you just want to italicize non-wii and non-DS games since they are more rare in the list. But, making weblinks out of the Publisher does look nice and helps them standout. (I think i'd get rid of the Wiki link)

Or making putting that link connected to the name of the game itself, 'cause the little "Wiki" thing to the side is a bit distracting (but I like being able to go to the entry fast).

[Ceric]

I was originally going to just use the name of the game but, then you can't really do the formatting.

Which is a shame because I sort of got carried away this weekend and yeah... This is sort of what resulted

Last I heard BnM was doing computer upgrades and his connection to the internet wasn't stable.   So I've got the fancy parser if the numbers are in the same form or if you guys want to wait for BnM thats cool to.  In all actuality the links be consistently more useful for the NPD data.

[Arbok]

Oh Jesus, the internets just imploded!


....anyway, nice to see, what looks to be, 8/10 of the top ten going back to Nintendo titles, with two of those being for the Wii... sadly those are also the only two Wii titles on the chart.

[IceCold]

Someone really needs to explain to me what exactly Love & Berry and Professor Layton are..

Also, how the hell is Phoenix Wright doing so well? What were the sales of the previous games? Good news regardless. Super Paper Mario will be on the charts next week in Japan.

test post, apparently I didn't follow the instuctions.

edit: I got it to work finally, i had to close everything and start from the beginning, this time following the ver simple instructions on how to use the damn parser

Parser = 1
BNM = -3

I'm pretty sure the second number is the game's position on the previous chart.

Now that I got the data side by side Methinks your right.  I'll fix it in the little parser.

If you click the YTube link on Professor Layton there is a trailer there and there is also a Wiki article about it from the Wiki link, Shorting Professor to Prof. messed it up originally.  It looks to be an anime on the DS with Mystery Puzzle solving.  Looks sort of intriguing to me.

Edit:  It also seems to be the first part of a series and it has a GameStats page with links to a few previews.

Also Love and Berry Wiki

Jeez ... BnM, how about just posting the plain, ol' boring chart for those of us who don't like having our eyeballs bleed when trying to read the new format?  

[NWR_pap64]

Nearly half a million copies of TP sold in Japan...

I know it ain't the same numbers as US and Europe ones, and the Wii series pretty much dominates Japan, but still, that ain't nothing to scoff about and is a good number, especially for a gamer series like Zelda.
