Best-Selling Games And Consoles Of September 2022 Revealed

The NPD Group has released its latest monthly sales report, this one covering September 2022, showing which games and consoles sold the best in the US. The report also shines a light on how the US games industry is performing overall.

Total spending on video games in the US in September--covering games, hardware, and accessories--amounted to $4.1 billion. That was down 4% compared to September 2021. Hardware, however, experienced year-over-year gains. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles saw double-digit percentage growth. For the year so far, total spending on video games in the US reached $38.4 billion, which is down 8%.

For games specifically, spending dropped by 7% in September 2022, declining to $3.4 billion. FIFA 23 was September's top-selling game overall, followed by Madden NFL 23 and NBA 2K23. Splatoon 3 landed at No. 4, which is an impressive result given that NPD's chart doesn't include digital sales from Nintendo.
