This fork is slightly edited to pull full release dates, not years, and format them as datetime.

vgchartzfull is a python script based on BeautifulSoup. It creates a dataset based on data from http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/

The dataset is saved as vgsales.csv.

You will need to have BeautifulSoup added. It can be installed by pip.

sudo pip install BeautifulSoup
