Cyberpunk 2077 is not selling very well on console

Cyberpunk 2077console launch was a disaster, and of course, console sales now seem to reflect that, with the game falling off last month’s bestseller list, according to the latest report from market research group NPD. Even the almost four-year-old Switch exclusive The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold better.

Cyberpunk 2077 has dropped to 18th place on the NPD top-selling games list for January 2021, down from second place in December, the month of its release. That puts it right below Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition, which was number 17, and just above Super Mario Party for Switch, which was number 19. Here’s the full list:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War

2. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

3. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

4. Madden NFL 21

5. Animal Crossing: New horizons *

6. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe *

7. Ring Fit Adventure

8. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate *

10. NBA 2K21 *

11. Super Mario 3D All-Stars *

12. FIFA 21

13. Immortals: Fenyx Rising

14. Mortal Kombat 11

15. Just Dance 2021

16. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild *

17. Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition

18. Cyberpunk 2077 *

19. Super Mario Party *

20. UFC 4

Notably, CD Projekt Red does not share digital sales data with NPD, so it could still sell better than the list reflects, especially on Steam. At the same time, Nintendo also does not share digital sales data. Also note that Cyberpunk 2077 It’s still not available for purchase from the PlayStation Store after Sony pulled the game away following money-back promises just a week after the game’s release.

Meanwhile, the Switch continues to sell like hot cakes. “Nintendo Switch was the best-selling hardware platform in units sold for the month of January,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella writes. This could be due to ongoing supply constraints for next-gen consoles or simply because the Switch is great, already has an established library, and is much cheaper. It doesn’t look like people are going to give up buying every annualized Call of Duty anytime soon, but it’s impressive to see an exclusive console like Animal Crossing: New horizons continue to hang near the top of the list almost a year after its initial release.
