Nine of October's top-sellingop 20 games in the U.S. were published by Nintendo, according to the latest monthly sales report from The NPD Group. The best-selling game published by Nintendo in October was
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, with
Super Mario 3D All-Stars coming in right behind it as fifth and sixth place this month respectively.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons came in at eighth,
Mario Kart 8: Deluxe at 11th,
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 15th,
Ring Fit Adventure at 16th,
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at 17th,
Super Mario Party at 19th, and finally,
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe at 20th. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-top-25-switch-games-fall-2020-update&captions=true"] Nintendo, however, didn't take the top spot for the month, as that belongs to
FIFA 21, which is the best-selling game of October 2020. This achievement also represents the first time a FIFA game has launched as number one in the U.S. market. The game launched on October 6 and became the number one game for October on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms. It's important to note that this is just PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X versions of FIFA 21 launch on
December 4. In hardware news, the Nintendo Switch set a new U.S. October dollar sales record, besting the previous high set by the Nintendo Wii in October 2008, according to The NPD Group. Nintendo has been the best-selling hardware platform in the U.S. for 23 consecutive months, which is also a record. The NPD Group also reports that year-to-date dollar sales of the Switch are the second-highest of any platform in U.S. history, coming in second only to the 2008 year-to-date dollar sales of the Wii.
