PS4 and Overwatch Take First Spot For June Sales
Today, the NPD released its monthly sales data. It comes as no surprise that the PS4 topped hardware sales once again. Overwatch ended up as the top selling game. Yet on the downside, in the first month that industry-tracking firm The NPD Group has ever included digital sales (not all digital sales but most), the industry is down big.
Consumers spent $652.2 million on video game-related products in the United States in June, according to the latest report from NPD. That’s down 22 percent from $878.7 million in June 2015. Hardware, software, and accessories were all down.
Here is the top-10 selling games for the month of June:
- Overwatch
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Doom 2016
- Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
- NBA 2K16
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III
- Destiny: The Taken King
- Minecraft
Games are now ranked by revenue and not by unit sales. Also, as mentioned above, digital sales are not counted for all the games as NPD transitions to the new format.
