With that in mind, we have gotten more information than usual. In addition to the typical list of top-selling games (in terms of dollar sales) across all platforms, it's also provided platform-specific lists for December. This shows that, while
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and
Final Fantasy XV were the top two games overall, the latter was No. 3 on
Xbox One, but No. 1 on
PS4. Infinite Warfare and
Battlefield 1 (the No. 3 game on PS4) were the top two games on Xbox One.
The report also includes a look at the top-selling games for the entire year in the US, and Infinite Warfare--
even with its sales dip--unsurprisingly came out on top. What might stand out most in this list are the two games to make the top 10 that released prior to 2016:
Grand Theft Auto V (No. 6) and
Call of Duty: Black Ops III (No. 8).
Total video game sales--combining hardware, software, and accessories--were down 15 percent year-over-year from $3.2 billion to $2.7 billion in the US during December. Hardware saw the biggest drop, going from $1.24 billion in December 2015 to $994.9 million in December 2016.
