Every category, from hardware and accessories to software, saw increased spending. Overall consumer spending across the industry hit $4.7 billion, which is 42 percent higher compared to the same period last year. While Animal Crossing: New Horizons only ranked fifth in the overall charts, it’s still the Switch’s best-selling title. It currently lags behind Assassin’s Creed 3 in terms of sales.
Interestingly, Cyberpunk 2077 dropped from second to 18th place in the charts though its digital sales were not included.Īssassin’s Creed Valhalla, meanwhile, ranked as the second best-selling title of last month and is also the second fastest-selling title for the franchise in US history.
Based on dollar sales, the first person shooter was not only the best-selling game for the month but also the 20th best-selling title in tracked US history, as per analyst Mat Piscatella. While digital games are on the rise as boxed releases drop, the COVID-19 pandemic has obviously accelerated the growth of digital to new heights.The NPD Group’s video game software and hardware sales charts for the US in January 2021 are out and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is still on top. Unfortunately, and also somewhat unsurprisingly, Black Ops Cold War didn’t do so well as a boxed, physical release, with sales down around 64% in comparison to last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The sales figures have been reported on by, and while exact figures haven’t been revealed yet, Activision Blizzard’s EMEAA MD Anna Malmhake issued a statement that Black Ops Cold War has managed to “set a new record as the highest first day digital sales worldwide in franchise history”. How Well Has Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Sold?
At least, the digital version has been a huge success anyway. Activision and Treyarch’s most recent instalment in the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops Cold War, launched last week on pretty much every major platform, and it would appear to be a big success for the series.
