Black Ops Cold War and Super Mario 3D World are the US’ best-selling games of 2021 so far
The top-selling games of the year in the US are about covert ops and walking mushrooms, according to an industry analyst firm.
The NPD Group released its latest roundup of games industry sales data, accounting for sales both through physical retail and digital channels – except for Nintendo, which keeps its eShop data to itself. Since the end of March also marked the end of the first quarter of 2021, it’s a prudent time to look back and see what games have seen the most commercial success so far. Here’s the list of the top 10 selling games in the US from January 1 to March 31.
