The wiki will complement a missing part of the Wikia Gaming portal by having a plethora of information regarding video game sales. This includes domestic and worldwide sales for next-generation platforms, like the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, for portable systems like the DS and PSP and lastly for previous consoles going all the way back to the Atari. Every month, gamers anxiously wait for these sales data and it's be great to consolidate all this information in one place as well as provide links to websites that focus on the business aspect of videogames.
