This is a box and whisker graph that represents platform sales over the years. The center line within the box represents the highest sales mean (weighted by year). To create this data, I added the sales for each year together and rounded up for each platform. If platform P had sales S in year Y, then I added S data entries with the information {P,Y}. Finally, I used ObservableHQ code in BoxPlot.js to draw the box plots based on the median and quartiles.
