Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Tops U.S. NPD Sales Chart As Of February 2020

When Activision isn’t receiving money from George Soros, you can find the company with Infinity Ward dominating sales charts. This time around, the duo’s latest work — best known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare — unsurprisingly sits at the top of the U.S. NPD’s February 2020 chart.

Every month, the U.S. NPD Group will issue out numbers and a list of the top games from the previous month leading into the current one. In other words, the latest March chart reveals the performance of games as of February 2nd to February 29th, 2020.

As one would expect, the following chart is filled with games found on other sales charts. This means if you are familiar with the EMEAA and UK charts, then you’ll know what games are in the top three.

As per usual, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the crown victor here with NBA 2K20 sitting in second while the notorious Grand Theft Auto V sits in third. The full list lies below, which only accounts dollar sales and not digital sales:

  1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
  2. NBA 2K20
  3. Grand Theft Auto V
  4. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
  5. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
  6. Mario Kart 8
  7. Ring Fit Adventure
  8. Madden NFL 20
  9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  10. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
  11. Minecraft
  12. Luigi’s Mansion 3
  13. Red Dead Redemption II
  14. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  15. Pokemon Sword
  16. Just Dance 2020
  17. FIFA 20
  18. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
  19. Need for Speed: Heat
  20. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

If you want more information on the decline in sales, hardware performance and more, then the self-proclaimed social justice activist at the NPD Group, Mat Piscatella, has a video for you to look over:

None of the above should come in as a surprise, but it looks like the games that are the hardest on consumers’ wallets are at the top of the U.S. sales chart.
