Official sales data will also be heard soon, after all, the new business year began two weeks ago, so the Sonymust communicate its financial report.
The US NPD group released in March report, and not surprisingly, records were shown in it. North American players spent $ 5.6 billion (approximately $ 1,680 billion) on games, hardware and accessories. This is an 18% increase. Between the consoles a Nintendo Switch this month also dragged in: most of it ran out, but the PlayStation 5 it has shown the best console start in the U.S. in the last five months, be it in terms of sales or the money generated from it. So, if it weren’t for a severe inventory shortage, the Nintendo Switch might not have finished in the lead now either.
This was the March top 20 list:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Monster Hunter Rise
- Outriders
- Super Mario 3D World
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Super Mario 3D All-Stars
- Minecraft
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Pokemon Sword & Shield
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Madden NFL 21
- NBA 2K21
- Super Mario Party
- FIFA 21
The Nintendo Switch took five of the top ten places (though Super Mario 3D All-Stars exploded due to disappearance from the store at the end of March) and opened in second place from the new Monster Hunter bite. Only the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War graduated before. The Outriders even hit the podium… and appeared on April 1st. From Sony, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales made it into the top ten. And if it’s already in the top ten, the top list for 2021 now looks like this:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Super Mario 3D World
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Monster Hunter Rise
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Minecraft
- Madden NFL 21
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Outriders
There’s a multiplatform, a Nintendo Switch, and a PlayStation-exclusive game on the podium, but 4th, 6th, and 9th places also feature “the switch” creations. Here’s a look back at the PlayStation 5, which we recently wrote about receiving its first major firmware update.
A VGC writes that this new system software also brought with it a patch that Sony doesn’t even mention. We previously reported that some players PlayStation 5 Standard Editionje (we have to point out that this version) sometimes spun Blu-ray discs at a volume unworthy of the console (and there is no drive in the PS5 Digital Edition, is it…). Well, this firmware seems to have fixed this bug.
It was on Reddit that perceives the disk spinner as completely gone, a ResetErás user says there are two relatively audible spins before it fades, and we can still hear the PlayStation 5 “eating the data” during installation. At least the situation is improving.
