I just wanted to point out, that is a really misleading graph. All the lines start at "100%", so the scales aren't comparable at all.

Actually, this makes perfect sense. The sales data at any given point of time is given as a percentage of the baseline, which is set at Q1 '03.
Of course, it makes sense if you interpret it right -- but it looks at first glance like it's comparing absolute sales figures, rather than change from baseline for each.
It shows exactly what it intended to show.
