NPD Group Claims Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Is The Best Selling Game Of 2019

According to the NPD Group, the U.S. top games between October 6th to November 2nd, 2019, are here. And you know what that means, right? It means that you can look over what are the best selling games so far in the states.

The top video games under the stars and stripes are up, and if you believe the NPD’s research without a grain of salt, then you’ll find that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, The Outer Worlds, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 are the big three.

Coming in after the number three spot on the list are familiar titles such as Madden NFL 20 (filling the fourth spot) followed by the controversial NBA 2K20 (ending up at spot number five).

The broken Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint takes sixth place, WWE 2K20 comes right after Breakpoint, while FIFA 20, Borderlands 3, and Ring Fit Adventure all fill the eighth, ninth and tenth spots respectively.
