Hello,

We are preparing our plan for the development of a new game and we need to do some research about other games in the genre.

Can anyone recommend one or more good websites where we would be able to research games sales etc. for other games?

Regards,

I have this, from seven years ago. May include dead links. If anybody has edits or additions or deletions, I'll gladly update the list.

I have continued my research and found an excellent resourse at https://www.kaggle.com/ashaheedq/video-games-sales-2019

In this dataset there are 55,792 records as of April 12th, 2019. It was generated by a scrape of vgchartz.com
