The NPD report for July is finally available, completing the picture that started coming into focus a couple of weeks ago. We already knew that Xbox One led console sales, with 3DS beating it out by selling more units and topping the handheld category.
July wasn't a great month in the United States, with slumps across spending categories. Total sales dipped by 14 percent to $480.1 million, with hardware dropping heavily by 30 percent to $141.3 million.
Monster Hunter Generations was a driving force for Nintendo, as Capcom’s latest entry propelled the 3DS to the lead. Software was down overall, with no major console releases. Last year saw Batman: Arkham Knight push strong numbers.
Here’s the top 10 best-selling titles for the month.
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Overwatch
- Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Monster Hunter: Generations
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III
- Minecraft
- NBA 2K16
- Doom 2016
- Destiny: The Taken King
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege
Note that the NPD report includes new, physical retail sales and select digital sales in the United States. Of note, Overwatch was a strong second, despite Battle.net sales not being included. Monster Hunter: Generations, Minecraft, and Doom also do not include digital sales.
