Brute · Dec 28, 2023

This was a good year for all 3 and marked the beginning of the Switch yearly win streak.

fiendcode · Dec 28, 2023

Was this the closest all 3 were in a given NPD year?

Evilnemesis8 · Dec 28, 2023

CoD defeated by Rockstar, all is well.

Pretty close year in term of console sales.

Looking at PlayStation in particular.
We knew from the 3 day sales record back to back that GoW and Spider-Man PS4 were going to be big, but years later, it's become quite clear how important these games have become for SIE.
Both PS4 games have cleared over 20M and their PC versions will continue to bring in residual sales.

As for the future, GoW:R is selling faster than the OG and Spider-Man 2 is also selling very well.

Baki · Dec 28, 2023

Great work. How are the IB team getting access to this data?

Noticing a trend of big Nov sales for XB/PS but declining Dec sales. Likely because the best promotions were in Nov despite Dec being a longer tracking period.

Numbers are from leaks from the at the time active NPD threads on sites like NeoGAF and ResetERA.

And yes, over time November has become a much bigger month thanks to Black Friday, which has eaten away at how much December sells.

Satoshi_Mugiwara · Dec 29, 2023

Smash Ultimate was the game that consolidated the Switch in the US. Anyway, it was a good year for everyone, even for the 3DS.

Joseki · Dec 29, 2023

2018 was a funny year to follow, after Q1 a lot of folks convinced themselves "the Switch story was exhausted", but I think the very empty release schedule from Mario Odyssey in october 2017 to Pokémon in november 2018 played a big factor.
It was a new console, no BC to carry it, and for a full year there wasn't massive seller so the small increase YoY was somewhat expected.

Welfare · Jan 15, 2024

Revenue Top 20 for the Full Year and month to month as of November 2023 data is in the OP, original data moved to post #2 because there's a 100,000 character limit

Astral_lion02 · Mar 26, 2025

I am adding here 2 PS Vita rankings who are not in the OP.

PS Vita had a lot of new games in 2018 for a so old platform that was barrely moving software. (Wii U sold more software than PS Vita in 2018).

God of War and Persona 4 are the only games that were also charting in the 2017 ranking.
