Numbers One Through Four Will Not Shock You At All
NPD has released the newest sales figures for the PS4 and the Xbox One. Two interesting things to note here: there’s an awful lot of Call of Duty on that list, and the first four entries are identical for both systems. I thought I was reading it wrong. Not so much! The list follows below:
PS4:
Grand Theft Auto V
Call of Duty: WWII
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
NBA 2k18
Battlefield 1
God of War
Star Wars Battlefront
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Nba 2k17
Xbox One:
Grand Theft Auto V
Call of Duty: WWII
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Battlefield 1
Star Wars Battlefront
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Halo 5: Guardians
Destiny 2
Fallout 4
Grand Theft Auto V topping the lists should come as little surprise, especially given how well Red Dead Redemption 2 is selling already. Beyond that, 14 of the top 20 slots are held by multiplayer FPS titles. Regardless of the changing tides in the industry at large, Call of Duty and its brethren are still aggressive system sellers. Although maybe the major takeaway should be that no one can compete with Rockstar. That game is five years old!
