The best selling game for February is Anthem, followed by Jump Force and Kingdom Hearts III. You can see the full top-twenty in the gallery at the bottom of the post alongside the best-selling games on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and 3DS.

Kingdom Hearts III is still the best-selling game of 2019 so far, with Red Dead Redemption II being at the top for the past twelve months. Incidentally, Kingdom Hearts III remains the fastest-selling game of the franchise across its first two months.

Anthem gets the second-best launch month sales for a BioWare game, behind Mass Effect 3 in 2012.

Jump Force had the third-best launch month in all of Bandai Namco’s history, which certainly isn’t a shabby performance either.

The Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console for both unit and dollar sales. It’s also the best-selling hardware platform in 2018 so far for the United States.

Below you can check out all the relevant tables provided by Piscatella. If you want to compare, you can also take a look at the NPD figures for January and December.

He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
