Decoding the Global Gaming Landscape: Insights through Data Visualization in Tableau

The global video game market has experienced exponential growth, fueled by technological advancements, evolving gaming platforms, and the rise of online gaming communities. Understanding the trends, patterns, and insights behind this massive industry is crucial for industry professionals, gamers, and enthusiasts alike.

Through my project, I aimed to uncover hidden narratives within the vast dataset of global video game sales. Leveraging the power of Tableau’s data visualization capabilities, I dived into the dataset, extracting valuable insights and presenting them in an intuitive and visually engaging manner.

Tableau, with its robust features and interactive dashboards, enabled me to transform complex data into meaningful stories. It allowed me to explore trends over time, analyze sales performance across different regions, examine the impact of game genres and platforms, and discover the influence of renowned publishers on the industry.

This project was completed as part of the introductory course in Tableau, taught through Datacamp. Through a variety of exercises, I was guided through the process of loading data, creating fresh visualisations, building dashboards, and compiling the dashboards into a story. You will be able to view this project via three different ways: 1. The embedded script on this webpage which allows you to interact with the visualisations (your browser may indicate an ‘unexpected error’), in that case, go to 2. Screenshots of three dashboards. If you just want to get the feel of interactive dashboards, then 3. View the project directly on my Tableau public profile on the link provided.
