According to figures released by The NPD group, Nintendo Switch was the top-selling console for July 2017, and Splatoon 2 was the month's best selling game in the US.
Splatoon 2's success, coupled with "new inventory released in support of the launch" helped drive Switch to the top spot. Overall, hardware spending was up 29 percent over July 2016. Sony's PlayStation 4 came in second, having taken the top-selling console spot for June 2017.
Nintendo had three games in the top seven over the month, making it the "best-selling software publisher" for the month.
Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy followed Splatoon 2 closely, coming in at number 2. Grand Theft Auto V remains at number 3, where it charted last month, which is astonishing given the game's age. GTA 5 is also the fourth best selling game for 2017 so far, and fifth over the last 12 months.
Here are the top ten best-selling games by revenue in the US for July 2017:
- Splatoon 2
- Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Injustice 2
- Mario Kart 8
- Overwatch
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege
- NBA 2K17
In its report, NPD noted "role playing games are experiencing a market resurgence," crediting Kingdom Hearts, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and other recently released RPGs. "Year-to-date dollar sales of RPGs has grown more than 50 percent," over the same period last year.
