Share isn't shown for mined phrases: an n-gram trend can include games from both sources, and one title can match several overlapping phrases, so there is no clean denominator to divide by. The Titles figure is an exact count of member games. Velocity is a rate of change, and movement can add both platforms' units together, so neither of those is a count.
