Comparador de preços de jogos de PlayStation 4 utilizando Webscraping e Power BI

Abstract

Over the last 4 decades, our electronic games have become part of a variety of children, teenagers and adults who have started to play peacefully with video games, becoming a hobby never a day in their lives. In line with the evolution of video game platforms, the gaming market began to transform into a still profitable and lucrative industry, expanding in line with the gradual advancement of technology. At the same time, our video game players (gamers) became regular consumers of this market looking for purchasing products and games linked to a video game console, making the gaming market a large parallel industry, in which producers began to explore and progress profitably every year. In Brazil, there are several factors that determine the composition of electronic games, the value of the dollar and the incidental impacts on electronic products. Considering the gaming industry (mainly in the national territory), this serves as the main objective of comparing game prices for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console. To find this object, we used the Web Scraping technique in Python to collect information about prices of PS4 games, certain rest sites and powered by Power BI to compare prices with graphs and dashboards. With this, we hope to help the gamer public to seek the best prices and discounts, saving time searching for electronic games
