NPD has released their monthly findings of sales figures for the month of April. Despite strong numbers by Dark Souls III and Ratchet & Clank, the month was 15% down in retail game sales compared to April 2015.

The top-selling games for the month of April are as follow:

  1. Dark Souls III (PS4, Xbox One)
  2. Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
  3. MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
  4. Tom Clancyโ€™s The Division (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
  5. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
  6. Minecraft (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3)
  7. Quantum Break (Xbox One)
  8. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
  9. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
  10. Star Fox: Zero (Wii U)
Dark Souls III
DESPITE STRONG SALES, DARK SOULS III COULDN’T CARRY APRIL LIKE MORTAL KOMBAT X DID

According to NPD, consumers spent $598.1 million on new games or related products in April 2015, a stark contrast to the year-over-year $509.5 million. NPD analyst Liam Callahan explains the release of a certain AAA title last year boosted sales incredibly:

โ€œDespite some record-breaking new launches, there were poor comparisons to the release of Mortal Kombat X in April 2015. Mortal Kombat X was a strong launch last year โ€” its April 2015 sales exceeded that of the entirety of all April 2016 new launches by 18 percent.โ€

Console and hardware didn’t have it any easier, ย with retail sales being down 23% year over year, despite the PS4 and X1 outperforming their predecessors in cumulative sales throughout a 30-month period. The PS4 remained the top-selling console of the month, continuing its streak dating back to February.
