7th Generation Video Games Power BI App

fabian79 — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 00:17:18 GMT

This Power BI App compares the three big 7th generation Video Game Consoles

Microsoft XBOX 360
Sony Playstation 3
Nintendo WII

In this Power BI App, sold games in millions are compared to show the performance of the consoles.
It also gives some interesting insights to different regions and genres.
And It also answers the question how platform exclusive games influenced the sales performance.

Surprisingly to me, the XBOX 360 performed quite well in comparison to the PS3.

Wii Sports should be the best thing Nintendo ever produced!

Very nice report but it is very confusing when there is no info in the pages if the numbers are in millions or something else.

Yes it is. And it says it is in millions. The first time I was not aware of this, but when I was typing my previous message I knew that. I just want to suggest that it would be better if the numbers were lik "123M". Not everyone reads that text in the first page.
