What you need to know

  • The February 2020 NPD results are in.
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare returned as the top seller for the month.
  • No new releases made it into the top 20 games sold.
  • The Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console for the month.

Every month, the NPD Group releases information on the top-selling games across all video game platforms in the United States. While it doesn't account for worldwide sales, it does provide a good snapshot of one the largest video game markets. Mat Piscatella, an analyst for NPD, has shared the results for February 2020. For this month, data was tracked from February 2, 2020 through February 29, 2020.

For the month of February, things were extremely slow as no new releases made it into the top 20 for the month, including the long-awaited PlayStation 4 exclusive game builder, Dreams. Dreams did however make #8 specifically on top ten games sold on PlayStation 4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was the best-selling game overall and on PlayStation 4.

To the shock of no one, the Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console in dollar sales and units overall. The Nintendo Switch was not affected by production shortages due to the COVID-19 outbreak in February however, that could change for March.

As always, remember that NPD is based on dollar sales, not units sold.
