As usual, sports games and shooters dominated the full-year charts, and Grand Theft Auto 5 refuses to give up its hold. FIFA 17 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One).Grand Theft Auto 5 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One).Madden NFL 17 (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One).Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PC, PS4, Xbox One).

It didn't turn up in the full-year chart but it's certainly not a non-entity. You'll notice Watch Dogs 2 held its place in the chart despite a lot of murmuring about its performance after its November release. The RPG may well have been an even bigger deal than the chart suggests, then. It's worth noting that Pokemon Sun and Moon both charted individually rather than as a combined title, and that the NPD doesn't have access to digital sales data on Nintendo titles. Here's the NPD's chart for the month of December 2016. Let's see if Sun and Moon can overtake it. The NPD said the twin games have sold over 4.21 million units life to date, which is the best the franchise has done since 2007's Pokemon Diamond and Pearl combined with 4.25 million units. In portables, the winner was, of course, Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Looking at individual platform charts, however, Final Fantasy 15 was the best-selling game on PS4, and enjoyed the 'best console launch month in the history of the franchise' with 19% more new physical units sold than Final Fantasy 13, and 54% more in total dollar revenue including digital. The NPD's Mat Piscatella said this is the ninth consecutive year Call of Duty has topped the all-formats December sales chart.īattlefield 1 came in second place, and actually generated 10% more dollar revenue than Star Wars Battlefront in December 2015 - a pretty amazing feat given the latter's brand recognition.
