The NPD Group (a research consumer group) released the best selling titles for video games for the US market. It’s focused on the month of March, but also reveals the top ten games sold for the whole year, so far (April has not been included yet).
According to this list, Far Cry 5 is doing extremely well. Not only was it number one for the month of March, but is also currently holding the number one spot for the year. Sea of Thieves managed second for March, followed by MLB 18: The Show. Kirby Star Allies is at fourth, and somehow, Grand Theft Auto V is fifth. How this title still manages to breach the top five not only in the US, but in the UK, is a surprise.
Below are the rest of top ten and another list for the top ten for the year:
