VIDEO GAMES ANALYSIS
Introduction
The video game industry is the economic sector involved in the development, marketing, and monetization of video games. It encompasses dozens of job disciplines and its component parts employ thousands of people worldwide.
This is a modified dataset of Gregory Smith's web scrape of VGChartz Video Games Sales that extends the number of variables with another web scrape from Metacritic. This along with the original dataset is available on kaggle.
Credits to users Rush Kirubi and Gregory Smith respectively.
Our main objectives and what we wanted to study with this dataset in particular include:
- Filtering the games by genre and platform to find out what platform had the most games of each genre.
- Total Game Sales by genre over the years to find out how each genre fair against each other.
- Comparing Sales Numbers across different regions.
- Comparing critics and user scores.
