Basic MathVideogame data: We collected data on the top 50 best-selling video games. These are the variable descriptions:
Metascore: Score out of 100, based on major critic reviews as provided by Metacritic.com
Total Worldwide Sales: Total number copied sold worldwide since December 31, 2015.
GameRankings: Score out of 100%, based on an average scores from websites and magazine reviews.
We used Metascore ratings as an explanatory variable and GameRankings ratings as the response variable in a
linear regression. The r2 value is 48%. With Total Worldwide Sales as the explanatory variable and
GameRankings ratings as the response variable in a linear regression, the r2 value is 62%. Using the ² value,
which is a better predictor of a videogames's GameRankings score: Metascore or Total Worldwide Sales?
