Just before the end of the year, we wrote that Hogwarts Legacy could become the best-selling game of 2023 in the US. And that if he succeeded, it would be the first time in 15 long years that someone other than a game from the Call of Duty series or a title from Rockstar Games climbed to the top of the list. That’s when Mat Piscatella from the analytics company Circan pointed it out. The fight was close until the last moment, as the action from Activision in recent months has been catching up with the magicians. However, the Hogwarts story actually succeeded and was once again the first to come up with the information Mat Piscatella.
Sales of Hogwarts Legacy at the end of the year undoubtedly helped to kick-start the Switch port. According to Piscatella, the title otherwise dominated the list of best-selling titles on PS4 and PS5. It finished second on Xbox One and Xbox Series. And the fifth on the Switch. Overall, it is the first place.
Call of Duty continues to reign supreme in brands
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III finished in second place. Otherwise, Call of Duty has already become the best-selling brand in the US for the fifteenth time. This was also helped by the fact that in addition to MWIII, the year-old Modern Warfare II also performed very well. It ended up in seventh place among the best-selling titles, surpassing hits like Mortal Kombat 1, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor or EA Sports FC 24. There is little evidence of the strength of the brand more.
Between the two Call of Duty titles, Madden NFL 24, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Diablo IV were able to wedge themselves in the 3rd to 6th place in the ranking. However, it’s important to point out that Zelda’s fifth place in the US was just sales of physical copies, as Circana didn’t have figures for digital copy sales available here. As a result, it could stand even higher.
In terms of consoles, the PS5 was the best selling in the US, followed by the Switch and the Xbox Series. You can now examine the results tables in detail on Piscatella’s Twitter.
