Battlefield: Hardline and PS4 finished March as the No.1 selling video game and hardware platform respectively, according to data published by NPD.
Hardline topped the software chart ahead of Bloodborne, with GTA 5 following at No.3. The two multi-platform titles actually sold best on Xbox One, no doubt because many PS4 gamers opted to spend their cash on Bloodborne.
Mario Party 10 came 4th, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 5th, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection sits in 9th and Final Fantasy: Type 0 HD takes 10th.
Nintendo says Mario Party 10 sold approximately 290,000 total units in its first two weeks on sale, whilst The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D added more than 184,000 units to reach 730,000 units total. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, meanwhile, added more than 110,000 units, bringing life-to-date sales to 2.4 million.
Hardware was once again won by PS4, but Sony hasn’t offered sales figures.
“We are truly honored PlayStation 4 is the top-selling console and No. 1 in software sales again according to NPD sales data for March 2015,” a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment told GamesBeat. “PS4 remains the cumulative sales leader both globally and in the United States and we want to thank gamers worldwide for their ongoing support.”
Microsoft continues to push the line that cumulative US Xbox One are outpacing Xbox 360 sales at the same point in its lifecycle.
Meanwhile Nintendo states: “The New Nintendo 3DS XL system continues to inject growth into Nintendo’s hand-held business, and the momentum created for Wii U in 2014 has carried over into 2015. Take these two elements, add in fun, exclusive titles starring some of the biggest names in gaming, and overall sales of Nintendo hardware systems so far in 2015 have increased by nearly 60 percent over sales during the same time frame in 2014.
“Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by nearly 80 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.”
Speaking about the Wii U Nintendo added: “Total hardware sales in 2015 have increased by more than 20 percent over sales during the first three months of 2014.”
