Project information

Analysis: Videogame Sales

The Project was created in German and is not available in English.

Following theses or research questions were analyzed:

  • In which years were the most games released and sold?
  • How do release and sales figures differ between 1980 and today?
  • Which were the best sales years in terms of number of sales per game? Are newer games bought more frequently?
  • Which platform has the best sales figures? Which one has the most releases?
  • Do established, older platforms have a larger game library and more sales than platforms that are newly launched?
  • Are there regional differences in user behavior for platforms? Do regional platforms regularly sell more games?
  • How do sales per platform develop over the years? Does the biggest "hype" with the highest sales occur shortly after release?
  • Are there concentrations in the number of games and sales among certain publishers (e.g., Nintendo, EA, Activision Blizzard)?
  • Are there regional differences in user behavior for publishers? Are regional publishers favored?
  • What is the distribution of game genres? Are there concentrations of certain genres in terms of number and sales figures? Which genres have the best/worst sales figures?
  • Are there regional differences among genres? (Are there regional differences in user or consumption behavior for specific genres?)
  • How have the genres evolved over the years?
  • Are there genres that, after high initial interest, have now become insignificant?
  • Are there publishers that preferentially offer certain genres and/or publishers that record high sales figures for games of a particular genre?
