This infographic, created by RentersInsurance.org, has absolutely nothing to do with renters insurance. The infographic instead covers a history of video game consoles starting with the original Atari and the Color TV Game from Nintendo. A nice organizational aspect of this infographic is that the time-line is color coded based on the generation of the gaming console. So, for instance, 1st generation consoles are in red, 2nd generation in orange, all the way to 7th generation in hot pink. Each gaming system has a number of facts associated to them and going through this infographic is somewhat like a trip down memory lane.

All in all, the infographic is OK, but the information is not too easy to digest. The best part of the infographic is the bottom, which shows the best selling consoles worldwide:

• XBOX 360: $432.3 million in sales
• NintendoDS: $133.1 million in sales
• Nintendo Wii: $73.3 million in sales
• PSP: $59.5 million in sales
• PS3: $37 million in sales

One major issue with this bottom graph, though, is the fact that the XBOX is listed to have the most sales, yet it’s one of the smallest bars on the graph. This means that either the bar is supposed to be higher, or the decimal point is in the wrong place. I’d do the research, but the infographic was supposed to do that for me.

It may be hard to believe, but 2010 marks the 15 year anniversary for the popular Sony PlayStation video game system. This infographic, created by Column Five Media for Sony PlayStation, shows us that 9/9/1995 was the date that the first model debuted in the United States. Not much happened for the gaming system over the next five years, until 2000 when they updated the design of the PlayStation. Then just a month later they premiered the PlayStation 2, which was a major improvement over the first generation. 2005 marked the first year that the PSP (aka PlayStation Portable) was released to consumers, and became a big hit with gamers. Things really started to heat up the next year in 2006, when Sony released the PlayStation 3, which is the same model that we still use today, however they did make a major upgrade by slimming down the unit in 2009.

Overall the infographic does a great job of illustrating the 15 year history of the Sony PlayStation. A suggestion for improvement would be to make the font size a bit larger, and make the text shorter and more to the point. It would also be good to take the white background away from images and let the images sit in the infographic as part of the graphic rather than a photo on top. Regardless, this does a good job of showing how far PlayStation has come over the years and how it will continue to evolve towards the new PlayStation Move.
