    Global Video Game Sales and Reviews

    Global Video Game Performance: Sales, Reviews, and Rankings

    By Andy Bramwell [source]

    About this dataset

    The elements covered in this well-curated dataset include: The ranking of the game based on global sales under the column 'Rank'. This metric provides perspective on how popular or successful a particular game has been across countries in comparison to others during its time. Noting that video games' popularity could vary greatly from one geography to another due to factors like cultural nuances, gamer preferences, etc., regional sales have been marked separately for North America (North America), Europe (Europe), Japan (Japan) as well as for other parts of the World excluding these three regions under the column 'Rest of World'.

    For easy identification among massive chunks of data, we've included each game's title (Game Title) along with additional categorization based on their genre (Genre). From action-packed adventures to strategic board-like scenarios or enchanted magic realms - classifications cover it all! In addition, detailed information about publishers can be found under 'Publisher', which grants insights about leading companies dominating market shares.

    Further details expand into mentioning platforms such as PS4, Xbox, PC where these games can be played under 'Platform'. A unique attribute covered in this database is ‘Review’. Given that critique ratings play an influential role in engaging new players into trying out a particular video game or boosting existing user morale regarding their choice; this numeric representation ranging typically from 1-10 vividly captures public opinion about them.

    Lastly, just for keeping tabs on ever-evolving gaming technology standards where newer versions often outshine predecessors irrespective of actual gameplay quality itself; having release years mentioned ('Year') proves beneficial for categorizing them chronologically. This helps correlate whether higher sales figures can sometimes merely be indicative of more people having access to necessary high-end gaming hardware during later periods.

    In essence, this dataset titled ‘Video Games Sales.csv’ holds immense potential for informative deep-dives into the Video Game industry's trends and paradigms, forming a solid foundation for market research, academic purposes or personal projects

    Global Overview of Video Game Sales, User and Critic Ratings

    By LearnToViz [source]

    About this dataset

    The Video Game Sales and Ratings Dataset is a comprehensive collection of data points concerning the video game industry. Predominantly prepared with the intent of facilitating data-driven decision making, this dataset serves as an essential tool for game developers, publishers, critics and researchers interested in examining trends and patterns within this burgeoning domain.

    Consisting of a wide gamut of variables such as platform availability, genre classification, publishing entities involved, developers responsible for creating the games to understanding their global reach through sales figures across various regions including North America (NA_Sales), Europe (EU_Sales), Japan (JP_Sales) and even other diverse regions consolidated under 'Other_Sales'- this dataset offers an in-depth exploration into the intricacies inherent in video gaming business dynamics.

    Furthermore, since it includes both critic reviews and user ratings along with associated count metrics that denote how many individuals voiced their opinion via these ratings; it not only lends performance transparency but also ensures broad inclusivity to make assessment more holistic. Therein lies its uniqueness: aptly capturing both market reception (sales diligence) along with perceptual quality review criteria led by expert critics and public users alike.

    To facilitate a thorough understanding our array fields also cover critical detail including 'Year_of_Release', offering temporal insight into when these games arrived on market shelves around the world; how they have been categorized ('Genre'), which platforms host these games ('Platform'); who took responsibility for developing them ('Developer') & then getting them promoted or distributed to target consumer base ('Publisher').

    Our 'User_Count' column offers further informed perspective about community engagement levels while inclusion of 'Rating' variable provides standards-based categorical info about age-specific content appropriateness as per internationally recognized rating agency- Entertainment Software Rating Board. With all these multifaceted components combined together in one robust dataset- rich analysis like sales forecasting, trend identification or patterns discernment among others can be most effectively accomplished.

    By providing such a wealth of diverse and detailed information, this dataset opens up a world of possibilities for analysis and investigation that stretches the boundaries of what we can learn about video games- both as entertainment artifacts and as commercial entities. Overall this dataset stands to be an informative resource to better comprehend the complex dynamics shaping the globally-flourishing video game industry

    Description

    Hundreds of millions of people play intellectually-demanding video games every day. What does individual performance on these games tell us about cognition? Here, we describe two studies that examine the potential link between intelligence and performance in one of the most popular video games genres in the world (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas: MOBAs). In the first study, we show that performance in the popular MOBA League of Legends’ correlates with fluid intelligence as measured under controlled laboratory conditions. In the second study, we also show that the age profile of performance in the two most widely-played MOBAs (League of Legends and DOTA II) matches that of raw fluid intelligence. We discuss and extend previous videogame literature on intelligence and videogames and suggest that commercial video games can be useful as 'proxy' tests of cognitive performance at a global population level.

    "Founded in 2005 by Brett Walton, VGChartz (Video Game Charts) is a business intelligence and research firm and publisher of the VGChartz.com websites. As an industry research firm, VGChartz publishes video game hardware estimates every week and hosts an ever-expanding game database with over 55,000 titles listed, featuring up-to-date shipment information and legacy sales data. The VGChartz.com website provides consumers with a range of content from news and sales features, to reviews and articles, to social networking and a community forum." - from the site vgchartz.com.

    "Since the end of 2018 VGChartz no longer produces estimates for software sales. This is because the high digital market share for software was making it both more difficult to produce reliable retail estimates and also making those estimates increasingly unrepresentative of the wider performance of the games in question. As a result, on the software front we now only record official shipment/sales data, where such data is made available by developers and publishers. The legacy data remains on the site for those who are interested in browsing through it." - from the site vgchartz.com.

    What can you do with the data set?

    If you are new to data analytics, try answering the following questions: - in what year did the active growth in the number of video games produced begin? What year was the most successful from this point of view? What can you conclude if you look at the number of video games released by country? - on what day and month were the largest number of video games released? What could be the reason for this pattern? - is there a dependence of the number of copies sold on the ratings of critics or users? - which gaming platforms, publishers and developers are the most common (the largest number of video games have been released over time)? - which gaming platforms, publishers and developers have the largest number of video game copies sold (over all time, the total number of copies sold was the largest)?

    If you have enough experience, try solving a regression problem. Train a model that can predict the number of copies sold of video games: - what signs can be used to prevent leakage of the target variable? - how do outliers affect the quality of the model? - which metric should be chosen to evaluate the model? - can adding new data improve the predictive ability of the model? - does the trained model have signs of heteroscedasticity of the residuals? How does this affect the predictive ability of the model? What can you do?

    Field descriptions:

    The data contains the following fields: 1. name – name of the video game. 2. date - release date of the video game. 3. platform - gaming platform (All – all gaming platforms, Series – all video game series). 4. publisher – publisher. 5. developers - developer. 6. shipped - the number of copies sent (relevant for records with the values All and Series in the platform field). 7. total - total number of copies sold (millions of copies). 8. america - number of copies sold in America (millions of copies). 9. europe - number of copies sold in Europe (millions of copies). 10. japan - number of copies sold in Japan (millions of copies). 11. other - other sales in the world. 12. vgc - rating VGChartz.com. 13. critic - critics' assessment. 14. user - user rating.

    Found an error or inaccuracy in the data?

    This dataset is the result of painstaking work. After collection and systematization, the data is checked for integrity and correctness. If you notice an error or inaccuracy in the data, or have a suggestion on how to improve the data set, please let me know.

In addition to several publicly listed video game companies, gaming platform owners Sony and Nintendo also produce top-selling games with Sony's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom also reaching rank four and five, respectively. Spotlight: Call of Duty series Activision Blizzard’s long-running Call of Duty franchise usually features in many end-of-the-year lists as it is one of the top-grossing and best-selling gaming franchises worldwide. As of April 2021, the Call of Duty (CoD) series has generated more than 400 million lifetime unit sales and the most recent entry in the series is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which was released in November 2023. The annual releases of the game series are rotated between several game development studios which are subsidiaries of Activision Blizzard: Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, and Raven Software.

    How to use the dataset

    Download Files First, make sure you have downloaded the CS_week1, CS_week2, CS_week3 and seeds datasets on Kaggle. You will also need to download the currentRankings file for each week of competition. All files should be saved using their originally assigned name in order for your analysis tools to read them properly (ie: CS_week1.csv).

    Understand File Structure Once all data has been collected and organized into separate files on your desktop/laptop computer/mobile device/etc., it's time to become familiar with what type of information is included in each file. The main folder contains three main data files: week1-3 and seedings. The week1-3 contain teams matched against one another according to university, point score from match results as well as team name and website URL associated with university entry; whereas the seedings include a ranking system amongst university entries which are accompanied by information regarding team names, website URLs etc.. Furthermore, there is additional file featured which contains currentRankings scores for each individual player/teams for an first given period of competition (ie: first week).

    Analyzing Data Now that everything is set up on your end it’s time explore! You can dive deep into trends amongst universities or individual players in regards to specific match performances or standings overall throughout weeks of competition etc… Furthermore you may also jumpstart insights via further creation of graphs based off compiled date from sources taken from BUECTracker dataset! For example let us say we wanted compare two universities- let's say Harvard University v Cornell University - against one another since beginning of event i we shall extract respective points(column),dates(column)(found under result tab) ,regions(csilluminating North America vs Europe etc)general stats such as maps played etc.. As well any other custom ideas which would come along in regards when dealing with similar datasets!

    Research Ideas

    • Analyze the performance of teams and identify areas for improvement for better performance in future competitions.
    • Assess which esports platforms are the most popular among gamers.
    • Gain a better understanding of player rankings across different regions, based on rankings system, to create targeted strategies that could boost individual players' scoring potential or team overall success in competitive gaming events

    How to use the dataset

    This dataset contains historical sales unit data for the Nintendo Switch platform from 2017 to 2020. The original visualization provides a clear visual representation of the number of sales units over time. It is easy to discern which months have seen higher levels of sales, and which have seen lower ones.

    Using this dataset, users can perform various analyses on the results to gain further insights into consumer trends and buy behavior associated with the Nintendo Switch platform. Users can also glean information on pricing strategies taken by Nintendo as well as consumer preferences over time in order to inform future business decisions.

    In order to maximize use of this data set, users are encouraged to consider questions such as: What types of games do consumers prefer? How has their taste changed over time? What is the average amount spent per game by region or country? How often are certain consoles purchased or rented? And what role do discounts or promotions play in influencing purchasing decisions? By exploring these questions, users can begin understanding how different factors may be affecting overall demand for a product associated with the Nintendo Switch platform.

    By analyzing this dataset, users also get an insight into how other competitors within the industry are affecting sales performance and allowing them take steps necessary for either surpassing competitors or maintaining dominance through suitable tactics like improved marketing campaigns or better-priced products that appeal more strongly customers’ needs and wants . In addition, examining this data enables companies keenly understand customer demands at detailed levels including whether customers prefer switch game bundles with extra features like custom skins etc., titles released during special times such as a holiday season that incite strong demand among buyers and also relevant discounts/promotions offered during times when people want/needing much needed break from regular routine life.. Ultimately , gaining greater insight into customer objectives allows firms efficiently manage their costs while maximizing profits through effective decisions based on reliable datasets such as that contained in this one instead rarely updated manual counts/observations which dont just lack comprehensiveness but also accuracy in nature.

    Research Ideas

    Description

    As a massive League of Legends fan for 10+ years, I realized that there weren't any datasets that helped us stay updated with Worlds 2021, thus this dataset was born!

    All data was acquired from lolesports.com which shows all in-depth statistics available for each match that others can use to find correlations between in-game statistics and wins.

    I would love to see this data used to answer how vision (ward interactions) and gold distribution (how a team's gold is divided among it's positions) correlate with win percentage.

    Description

    Overview

    The World of Warcraft Avatar History Dataset is a collection of records that detail information about player characters in the game over time. It includes information about their character level, race, class, location, and social guild. The Kaggle version of this dataset includes only the information from 2008 (and the dataset in general only includes information from the 'Horde' faction of players in the game from a single game server).

    Ideas for Using the Dataset

    From the perspective of game system designers, players' behavior is one of the most important factors they must consider when designing game systems. To gain a fundamental understanding of the game play behavior of online gamers, exploring users' game play time provides a good starting point. This is because the concept of game play time is applicable to all genres of games and it enables us to model the system workload as well as the impact of system and network QoS on users' behavior. It can even help us predict players' loyalty to specific games.

    Open Questions

    • Understand user gameplay behavior (game sessions, movement, leveling)
    • Understand user interactions (guilds)
    • Predict players unsubscribing from the game based on activity
    • What are the most popular zones in WoW, what level players tend to inhabit each?

    Wrath of the Lich King

    An expansion to World of Warcraft, "Wrath of the Lich King" (Wotlk) was released on November 13, 2008. It introduced new zones for players to go to, a new character class (the death knight), and a new level cap of 80 (up from 70 previously). This event intersects nicely with the dataset and is probably interesting to investigate.

    Map

    This dataset doesn't include a shapefile (if you know of one that exists, let me know!) to show where the zones the dataset talks about are. Here is a list of zones an information from this version of the game, including their recommended levels: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Zones_by_level_(original) .

    Update (Version 3): dmi3kno has generously put together some supplementary zone information files which have now been included in this dataset. Some notes about the files:

    Note that some zone names contain Chinese characters. Unicode names are preserved as a key to the original dataset. What this addition will allow is to understand properties of the zones a bit better - their relative location to each other, competititive properties, type of gameplay and, hopefully, their contribution to character leveling. Location coordinates contain some redundant (and possibly duplicate) records as they are collected from different sources. Working with uncleaned location coordinate data will allow users to demonstrate their data wrangling skills (both working with strings and spatial data).

    Games released for game boy

    About this dataset

    How do you determine whether a video game is good or bad? There are many factors to consider, from graphics to gameplay to story. But one of the most important factors is reception – how well the game is received by players and critics.

    The Game Boy was one of the most popular handheld gaming consoles of all time, and it had a huge library of games. Some of these games were beloved by fans and critics alike, while others were met with indifference or even outright hostility.

    So, what makes a good Game Boy game? And what makes a bad one? This dataset attempts to answer those questions by collecting information on every Game Boy game ever released, including their reception von players and critics

    How to use the dataset

    The dataset can be used to examine the successes and failures of individual games or groups of games on the Game Boy platform

    Research Ideas

    • Examining the most and least successful games on the Game Boy platform in terms of sales, reviews, or player engagement.
    • Determining which developers or publishers were most successful at releasing quality games on the Game Boy platform.
    • Investigating how the release date impacted the success of a Game Boy game in different regions

Global Video Game Performance: Sales, Reviews, and Rankings

By Andy Bramwell [source]

About this dataset

The elements covered in this well-curated dataset include: The ranking of the game based on global sales under the column 'Rank'. This metric provides perspective on how popular or successful a particular game has been across countries in comparison to others during its time. Noting that video games' popularity could vary greatly from one geography to another due to factors like cultural nuances, gamer preferences, etc., regional sales have been marked separately for North America (North America), Europe (Europe), Japan (Japan) as well as for other parts of the World excluding these three regions under the column 'Rest of World'.

For easy identification among massive chunks of data, we've included each game's title (Game Title) along with additional categorization based on their genre (Genre). From action-packed adventures to strategic board-like scenarios or enchanted magic realms - classifications cover it all! In addition, detailed information about publishers can be found under 'Publisher', which grants insights about leading companies dominating market shares.

Further details expand into mentioning platforms such as PS4, Xbox, PC where these games can be played under 'Platform'. A unique attribute covered in this database is ‘Review’. Given that critique ratings play an influential role in engaging new players into trying out a particular video game or boosting existing user morale regarding their choice; this numeric representation ranging typically from 1-10 vividly captures public opinion about them.

Lastly, just for keeping tabs on ever-evolving gaming technology standards where newer versions often outshine predecessors irrespective of actual gameplay quality itself; having release years mentioned ('Year') proves beneficial for categorizing them chronologically. This helps correlate whether higher sales figures can sometimes merely be indicative of more people having access to necessary high-end gaming hardware during later periods.

In essence, this dataset titled ‘Video Games Sales.csv’ holds immense potential for informative deep-dives into the Video Game industry's trends and paradigms, forming a solid foundation for market research, academic purposes or personal projects

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides extensive information about various video game titles, their sales performance across multiple regions, publisher details and game reviews. Follow the steps outlined below to make the most out of this remarkable dataset!

1. Game Research & Evaluation:

With columns such as 'Game Title', 'Genre' and 'Review', you can research on particular games or genres that interest you. You can evaluate a game based on its review scores, delving into what makes a top-rated game.

2. Publisher Analysis:

The 'Publisher' column lets you track which publishers are behind the most successful games in terms of sales and reviews. This analysis could be useful for people interested in business trends in gaming industry or trying to identify potential innovative publishers.

3. Regional Market Trend Identification:

You can use data from columns like ‘North America’, ‘Europe’, ‘Japan’ and ‘Rest of World’ to study regional market trends for certain genres or platforms; it might enable one to recognize patterns over time or cultural preferences with regard to video games.

4. Global Sales Analysis:

Using the 'Global' column, you could observe which games have been globally successful, going beyond regional preferences by genre or platform.

5. Platform Insight:

The platform on which a particular game is available is another significant factor (e.g., PC, PS4, Xbox). By utilizing the data contained in this dataset regarding platforms, one may learn how platform choice impacts global sales as well as discern any correlation between preferred platform types among specific regions.
