The American research agency NPD recently released the top ten game sales sites in the United States in 2022. The United States is still the largest market for home games in the world, so the sales list is also very indicative .
It is not surprising that the first place in the year is still the latest game of the “Decisive Moment” series “Decisive Moment: Modern Warfare II 2022”, which also won the sales champion of the commercial war game at the end of December. Once again, Activision Blizzard still has a leading place in the market despite all the scandals.
By the way, the case of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is still being tried by the competent authorities in Europe and the United States, but the current situation is indeed developing in the direction of monopoly concerns.
Before the release of “Decisive Moment”, the original sales champion was “Elden’s Ring”, which won major awards last year. In addition, there are also powerful IPs in the US market such as “Star Wars” and “Madden American Football”.on the list.
In the section of Switch games, two Pokemon times squeezed into the top 10, competing with “God of War” and “Horizon” PS. Here are the top 10 games sold in the US last year:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II 2022
- “Circle of Elden”
- Madden NFL 23
- “God of War Ragnarok”
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- “Pokémon Vermilion / Purple” (digital edition sales not counted)
