I made a spreadsheet with all the sales data for all systems from January 2005 to the time of this post. I used the data off of this website http://game-science.com/ . If you spot any errors please give a shout. I made the spread sheet in open office, if you can't figure how to open the file so you need open office or any other program that can open ODF files..

How do we view it? Excel doesn't open it.

I do not own a copy of Microsoft Office and I most likely never will. I use a Office Suite that is free for anybody to download and use for commercial or personal use.  You can get it here..

Even tho it can read and write to MS Office files by default it uses a free and open standard format called ODF for it's files, that anybody can add to their program to have 100% compatibility between applications, commercial software or otherwise. Microsoft has their own competing and incompatible format that will be in their 2007 version of office but it has several patents that make it impossible to implement into your software unless you want to risk being sued.
