The List for the Top 10 Games of February Has Been Released

The NPD Group Has Revealed the Sales Report for February for the USA

The NPD Group has officially released its sales report for the United States for the month of February for this year, which includes the list of the month’s best-selling games. This report is based on the actual sales data from the month, up until February 25th. It’s interesting to see which games are still popular months, or even years since release, and which up and coming games made the list as well!

It is worth a mention that the highly praised Horizon Zero Dawn was released on February 28th, and was then obviously not included in this data. We will just have to wait to see if it outperforms the competition for the month of March! For Honor took the number one spot, not only on the top ten games of the month overall, but also on the top 10 list for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One! Nioh, a new release last month, also made the list, taking the ninth spot on the list.

This NPD sales report also mentioned that total video game sales had decreased by 21 percent when comparing February 2016 to February of this year! This meant a drop from $918.7 million last February, and $724 million this year. There was also a 30 percent decrease in video game hardware, from $292.2 million to $204 million, as well as a decline in software by 14 percent. It would be interesting to see what affected the sales so drastically from last February to this February.

Keep in mind that these lists combine physical sales with digital sales from select publishers, but don’t include the digital sales from Battle.net or Nintendo and could make a difference on the game ranking.
