New Import Games Rankings Archive Layout

So I finally sat down and did a little script to automate the generation of the Rankings archive, which previously had to be updated by hand by yours truly.

Of course, I got in the zone and came up with a really nice presentation that shows lots of info, such as the number of games for each console appearing in each Ranking, and threw in the percentage for good measure. It’s now very easy to understanding how Nintendo is dominating Japan with the Nintendo DS and Nontendo Wii!

You can check it out by clicking on the “Rankings” button at the top, by simply following this link to the Japanese Video Games Rankings Archive
