This is a parallel coordinates graph which displays the twelve videogame genres in this dataset ranked by the amount of sales
in different parts of the world. You can mouse-over a genre's path to make it easier to follow.
Because the amount of a certain genre's sales may vary in certain parts of the world due to differing populations,
I decided to group the amount of sales by genre and sorted them for each specific area provided in the dataset (North America, Europe, Other, and Japan).
Each genre's path is decided by its rank in that area of the world. Something that I found very interesting from this visualization is that Japan's taste
in video games is very different than everywhere else. Considering the three left-most axes, each genre's rank is fairly consistent
with very little fluctuation.
Although the sales of genres such as Sports or Racing ranked fairly high in most regions, Japanese gamers seemed to prefer
Role-Playing and Platform games. This is interesting because some of the most popular RPGs and Platformers (such as Final Fantasy or Super Mario) were developed in Japan.
