The April 2019 NDP report is ready and Mortal Kombat 11 and Days Gone are the best-selling games of the month in the United States.
The report, which contains an analysis of Mat Piscatella, notes that Mortal Kombat 11 instantly became the second best-selling game of the year 2019, and the best selling game on all the platforms on which it was published: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This is the first time that a game released by a third party is the best-selling Nintendo Switch title since the launch of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle in 2017.
Days Gone's first month of sales ranks seventh in a game released by Sony, and since its release, has become Sony Bend's best-selling game in terms of lifetime earnings.
MLB 19: The Show comes in third place. It is the best selling sports game of 2019 since the beginning of the year. Kingdom Hearts III remains the best-selling game from 2019 to date. It is followed by The Division 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Grand Theft Auto V.
The top ten best selling games of April 2019 are:
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Past days
- MLB 19: the show
- Division 2
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Sekiro: the shadows are dying twice
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
- NBA 2K19
- The craft world of Yoshi
Dollar sales of video game software increased by 15% from April 2018, while equipment expenses decreased by 29%. Nintendo Switch was the best selling hardware platform from April 2019 and the beginning of the year.
In our article on Mortal Kombat 11, we called the game "Amazing": "Mortal Kombat 11 is the best game in the 27 year old series, thanks to a new deep and methodical mechanics and a funny story".
In our review of Days Gone, we called the game "OK" saying "Have fun in small bursts, but the rehearsal, the bland world and the grim history of Days Gone make it a seamless journey."
The Division 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice are the best-selling games of March 2019.
