-The purpose of this data map is to inform about the different options in the next generation of the video game industry. It appears to include different information about technical specs, features, and accessories that each of the 3 major consoles include. It also goes on to give entertainment industry sales, as well as the top games for each system and all systems overall.
-The audience of the data map seems to be prospective customers of certain video game consoles, or games, most likely non-brand loyal fans, unsure of which they want to purchase.
-The context of the map would probably be in a retail outlet that sells video game hardware, games, and accessories, easily visible to prospective buyers, or maybe even on a website.
-The strategies that map use are great, I love how the data map is laid out. There are small graphics for each of the systems, and for other things such as books, music, and TV, and a relevant picture at the top to fill up any extra whitespace.
-The final medium is probably going to be on a poster, probably a buying guide posted on a wall or endcap, or maybe even a data sheet online somewhere.
-The arrangement of the data map is very flowing, it is organized by sales, top games, then system specs. It goes along well with the purpose, audience, and context in that everything is easy to find and it serves the purpose well.
-The strongest element of this data map is the use of the pictures, they are great, even though they are sketches and are bound to be many times better, I can already get a sense of being there in the action and ready to buy!
-The weakest element of this data map is probably the fact that it is all hand-drawn (this may not be the case for the final draft, just pointing out), but if everything is kept consistent when brought over to a digitized format, and then possibly printed out, it would look great.
