Where Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 63ahead of 16% of the catalogue
- Reach

Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
