Super Mario 3D World Was America’s Best Seller – February 2021

The NPD Group company released its famous report on the sales performance of games and home appliances in America for the month of February 2021. The report showed that Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury topped the list of games, while the Nintendo Switch was the top-selling device last month.

Spending by U.S. gamers on games reached approximately $ 4.6 billion, a 35% increase from February 2020.

Hardware sales rose 121% to $ 406 million.

While the company named the PS5 the best-selling in US history in terms of dollar sales, the Switch continued to dominate the top, registering the highest numbers in terms of units sold and in dollar sales over the past month.

With a focus on games, US-based gamers are spending on gaming content, through smartphones, personal computers, subscription services, and cloud services, to around $ 4 billion, with an increase by 30%.

As we said, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is the best-selling game based solely on physical game card sales – without adding digital sales. The reason is that Nintendo is preventing companies from tracking digital sales of their games.

Finally, Persona 5: Strikers appeared in third place, while Little Nightmares 2. What makes these two games important is that they are the only two new releases to have taken place in February 2021.
