game console hardware sales

Okay, so I was looking into some stuff about game console hardware sales. It’s a wild world out there in the gaming universe, let me tell you. I started off by digging around for some basic info, just to get my bearings, you know?

I decided to gather some raw data first. I hit up a few different sources – some official sales reports, some articles, you name it. I grabbed all that data and dumped it into a spreadsheet. Yeah, it was a bit of a mess at first, but hey, that’s how these things go.

Then came the fun part – cleaning up the data. I went through each entry, making sure everything was consistent. Some of the data was incomplete, some of it was, well, just plain wrong. It took a while, but I got it all sorted out.

Next, I started playing around with the numbers. I was curious to see the trends, like which consoles were selling the most, which years were the biggest, that kind of thing. Spreadsheets are great for this. I made some charts, some graphs, the whole nine yards.

Sorted the data by console and year.
Calculated total sales for each console.
Compared sales across different years.

After messing with the data for a bit, I started to see some interesting stuff. Like, did you know that the early 2000s were a crazy time for console sales? It was like a console war or something! Anyway, I put together a little summary of my findings, just to make it easier to digest.

Key Findings

One console in particular really dominated the market during a certain period.
There were some years that were way bigger for sales than others.
Some consoles were just duds, didn’t sell much at all.

So yeah, that’s pretty much it. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot about how the gaming industry has changed over the years. Just goes to show, even a simple spreadsheet can tell you a lot if you know how to look at the data!

And that is it for today’s sharing, I hope you enjoyed it, my friends!
