Diffusion in Platform-Based Markets:
Big Data Driven Agent-Based Model
How do competing innovations diffuse in
platform-based markets? PS3 vs. Xbox 360.vs.
Xbox 360.
Why did PS3 get
the most
adopters?
…more games
Xbox 360 was launched a year earlier and had…
… lower price … equally good games

Big Data Collection
• The agent-based model was fed with two
different types of data. Firstly, sales data of the
consoles was collected (Geekwire).
• Secondly, we collected data on the games with a
data science approach, using a Web scraper.
– We chose to use the Metacritic (2014) website as
the key source of game related data for our agent-based model. Since Metacritic does not
provide a machine-readable access to interface with its data, a tailored scraper was implemented
to access the data.

The main part of the model:
How consumers choose a console?
• The main variables that affect adoption decisions:
=

Decision Rules
• Agents make decisions based on defined decision rules
12/6
The amount of games on a console that are aligned with the
preferences of the player The amount of
friend among the players of a
console
PS3 = Xbox360 PS3 > Xbox360 PS3 < Xbox360
PS3 = Xbox360 Random choice PS3 Xbox360
PS3 > Xbox360 PS3 PS3
a) Xbox360 (games
are preferred) b) PS3 (friends are preferred)
PS3 < Xbox360 Xbox360
a) PS3 (games are
preferred) b) Xbox360 (friends
are preferred)
Xbox360

So What?
• The models can be used to simulate
business decisions
– which action can lead to best increase in
profit?
– what are the business impacts of different
competitor actions?
…
– What would you like to know?
