Mortal Kombat X Is the Best Selling PS4 and Xbox One Fighting Game
According to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella Mortal Kombat X is the best selling fighting game for the PS4 and Xbox One. While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate holds a strong lead for fighting games on the Nintendo Switch, Mortal Kombat 11 manages to be fourth in sales for the platform behind ARMS and Pokken Tournament DX. Mortal Kombat X carries the lead on Xbox One and PS4 with Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 rounding out the rest of the top three for both platforms. Mortal Kombat X is available for the aforementioned platforms, as well as PC.
The following are the top five selling fighting games for the Xbox One:
- Mortal Kombat X
- Injustice 2
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
- Dragon Ball: Xenoverse
The following are the top five selling fighting games for the PS4
- Mortal Kombat X
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Injustice 2
- Dragon Ball: FighterZ
- Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
Rounding out the rest of the major platforms, the following are the top five selling fighting games for the Nintendo Switch:
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Pokken Tournament DX
- ARMS
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
Although Mortal Kombat 11 recently released, it clearly sold well enough on each platform to make it nearly catch up to its predecessor which released in 2015. Despite having such a head start on MK11, it’s likely that MKX could be dethroned by the end of this console generation, especially with all of the improvements it offered. It must be a rewarding feeling for NetherRealm Studios to see so many people purchasing each of their fighting games on all of the major platforms.
