January’s NPD report is in, and Nintendo pipped its competitors to the post in both hardware and software sales.
The Switch was the only console to show a year-on-year increase in both dollar and unit sales, despite an overall decrease in spending of 28% in the category as a whole, compared to January 2018.
Kingdom Hearts 3 was the best-selling game of January 2019, and while Kingdom Hearts 2 also topped the charts in its launch month back in 2006, the latest installment has it beat on the revenue front, with a 2.5-times increase in dollar sales.
The game was also the fastest-selling in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, shipping over 5 million units in one week.
