Question 1: What are the general feelings associated with Xbox compared to the New PS5?

• (I am considering if I should buy the new Xbox or new PS5)
• I am taking data from twitter wherever Xbox or PS5 is used in tweets.
  • I believe this is useful because it is a plaftform where people express their emotions about products.

Analysis:

The Xbox twitter community used more thoughtful tweets in comparison to PS5 twitter. In the PS5 community, they used more unusual characters and Xbox used more sentences and words describing their feelings. I think I gain a better knowledge as to what platform I should get as Xbox’s sentiments included words such as trust, positivity and anticipation were used. PS5 had more neutral or negativity which I am assuming is from conversations about specific games which is why there was a bit more fear and negativity.

Question 2: What time of day do the Xbox and PS5 communities communicate the most?

• I would like to analyze this so I know what are the best times I should get on the video game for the best multiplayer experience.

• I am taking data from Xbox and PS5 tweets and manipulating the time to analyze the hour of tweet productions.

  • I believe this is useful because it will give me a good understanding of when most Xbox or PS5 gamers are “online” or “active”

Analysis:

I can interpret from this plot that Xbox users usually are more active around either midnight evening time or around the hotspot of 4pm. From this I want to assume that Xbox players are younger based on them playing around the time when most middle/highschools get out of classes for the day.

I can interpret from this plot that PS5 users usually are more active around late morning or early afternoon time and not as much during the evening. I think that these users may have jobs or other things to do during evenings so they get their gaming done in the morning.

Question 3: What words are used most around tweets for Xbox and PS5 communities.?

• I would like to analyze this so I know what are common words used within the communities.

• Is there certain phrases that seem to appear that I should know while using this council?

• I am taking data from Xbox and PS5 tweets and looking at what words are used in these tweets most frequently.

  • I believe this is useful because it will give me a good understanding of the language most Xbox or PS5 use.

Analysis:

For the Xbox words, I can see they talk things like “Series”, “Playstation”, “PC”, “December” and “RT”. From these words I can see as if Xbox users compare themselves to other gaming devices like Playstation and PC a lot. I think this could mean they are less self-centered people as they look for comparisons to others. I assume December pops up for a great Christmas or Holiday present.

For the PS5 words, I can see they have lots of interesting characters used that do not pop up exactly in the plot. I assume the PS5 community may tend to be from origins of a different culture or place around the world than the typical Xbox user. For the understandable words like “PS4” “Pro” and “Iphone” I can interpret that they are more egocentric and trying to feel as if they are the best. They are not looking as much at other communities to see if they are better than them, since they are looking at their own products.
