Abstract

In the rapidly growing digital entertainment industry, video games have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide. The gaming industry generates significant revenue across various platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo. Over the years, video game sales have shown remarkable growth influenced by factors such as game genre, platform, publisher, and regional demand. This project focuses on analyzing video game sales data by developing an interactive data visualization dashboard using Tableau. The analysis presents important metrics such as sales trends across different platforms, genre popularity, regional sales distribution, and top-selling games over different years. By transforming raw data into meaningful charts and visual insights, this project helps in understanding sales patterns, identifying popular genres, and evaluating overall performance trends in the video game industry.
