Analysis On Video Games

Since the past 7 weeks or so, I have been attending the course "Data Analysis with Python : Zero to Pandas" organized by JovianML in association with FreeCodeCamp.org. As part of the course, we are required to perform an exploratory data analysis and visualise the results on a particular dataset. Video Games have always fascinated and kept me engaged throughout my childhood. So, it is only fair that I perform the analysis on my favorite pastimes. The requires dataset will be downloaded from Kaggle.

Downloading the Dataset

To perform analysis and visualisation, we need to have a dataset. This dataset needs to be downloaded from somewhere. In this case, I have found my required dataset from Kaggle, an open source Machine Learning Framework. The dataset contains 11 columns and consists of details of video games sales of the past 4 decades. To download the dataset, we will have to import some necessary packages and then perform our required operations on them.

Let's begin by downloading the data, and listing the files within the dataset.
