Today, the NPD Group revealed what the top 10 best-selling games in the US were for the month of January, 2015. These results count only retail sales, not digital. Without further ado, here they are.
(As always, the platforms shown in parenthesis next to each game are in order of versions sold per console, from best-selling to worst-selling.)
1.) Dying Light (PS4, XBO, PC)
2.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (XBO PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
3.) Grand Theft Auto V (XBO, PS4, 360, PS3)
4.) Minecraft (360, PS3, XBO, PS4)
5.) NBA 2K15 (XBO, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
6.) Super Smash Bros. (NWU, 3DS)
7.) Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
8.) Madden NFL 15 (XBO, PS4, 360, PS3)
9.) Destiny (XBO, PS4, 360, PS3)
10.) FIFA 15 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, WII, PSV, 3DS)
According to the NPD Group, "Software spending rose 5 percent from January 2014 as eighth generation console spending outpaced seventh generation console software sales. Eighth generation software increased by 74 percent, seventh generation decreased by 36 percent and dedicated portable software sales dropped by 12 percent."
Additionally, the NPD Group notes that "The sales of January 2015 launch titles were up over 200 percent versus January 2014, with Dying Light being the major new release of the month. If January 2015 releases performed in line with January 2014 releases, overall software sales would have decreased by 4 percent."
Interestingly, Dying Light's rampant success in the month of January broke The Evil Within's record, made in October of 2014, of the highest first-month sales for a new survival horror franchise.
