Mortal Kombat 11 was the best-selling game for May.

The Nintendo Switch is traditionally the most sold console.

The game industry is experiencing a slowdown that can easily be attributed to the expectation of a new generation of gaming consoles. According to NPD Group statistics, total revenue in the United States fell by 11% in one year to $ 641 million, with the reduction in hardware sales of 20% being the main culprit.

Playstation 4 and Xbox One are no longer selling as well as over the years and the announcement of the next generation should accelerate this fall. The most sold console in May was again Nintendo Switch, also top of the first 5 months of 2019.

The best-selling game for the month of May was the expected battle Mortal Kombat 11 who overlooked the Playstation 4 exclusivity Past days and PC exclusivity Total War: Three Kingdoms. Fourth place was the second in the series rage, but since Bethesda does not provide sales statistics for digital copies for any reason, only physical copy sales were taken into account for this game. It is possible that the game was defeated by Days Gone and Total War .
