US Charts: Elden Ring, Gran Turismo, Kirby and Xbox Series Hits in March – News

As a result, March 2022 revenue was $4.9 billion, down 15% compared to March 2021. As a result, the balance sheet in Q1 2022 itself fell 8% compared to Q1 2021 to $13.9 billion. The decline was largely driven by console sales, which hit $515 million in March, down 24%.

This month, however, one manufacturer stood out: Microsoft easily had its best March ever in the US, beating the Xbox 360’s March 2011 performance (433,000 consoles sold). If that wasn’t enough to outnumber the Switch, the Xbox series is currently the console with the biggest turnover over the past three months.

As we all know, the side that puts the most consoles on the market these days wins the game. And in this very random little game, Sony has been hit hardest by the shortage since the beginning of the year. For the entire first quarter of Q1 2022, the PlayStation 5 was beaten by the Switch (number of consoles sold) and the Xbox series (turnover). In this case, we’re guessing a little boost on PC won’t hurt the business.

There’s one more area for Sony to thank for right now: the extraordinary success of its exclusives. But before this problem is solved, the honor of the king, the position of the champion. Although the game was packed at the gate, Eldon Ring Unwavering, for the second month in a row it was the best-selling game to date, even up more than 10% from February’s sales. Everything has been talked about about its global success, which has resulted in an incredible 12 million copies sold worldwide.

If there is no FromSoftware signature phenomenon, it is racing 7 Who’s on the throne, but the racing sim has earned its own little crown: this episode is the best release in franchise history in 25 years. Small details, this best release is achieved in value, not volume.To complete the podium, we welcome Kirby and the Forgotten Worldwhich also undoubtedly marks the best release in franchise history, even if NPD didn’t come up with that detail.

On the other hand, the NDP emphasized a very important point MLB Show 22, or we might accuse it of underperforming: if Baseball Sim is “only” 4th in the rankings, it’s because only the MVP and Digital Deluxe edition sales are considered, the game’s edition standards are being released too late to appear in March’s edition in the ranking.It can be said that even if Eldon Ring Next month’s rankings are likely to take a hit, especially with the Switch being added to PlayStation and Xbox consoles this year.

Top 5 or more Horizon Forbidden West It seemed to keep its distance gloriously for the second month.While 3 new PlayStation studios in the top 5 are excellent, the disappearing Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moralesbut has subscribed to the top 20 since November 2020, which is a good illustration of the PS5’s lack of availability.

March 2022 U.S. Monthly Rankings

Including downloads, this value ranking is based on revenue rather than sales. As a reminder, Nintendo and Take-Two Interactive games are penalized for these publishers not sharing their download sales with NPD, especially given the details of Tiny Tina’s Wonderland and Triangle strategy. Finally, downloads from subscriptions like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass obviously don’t count as sales, just as free games aren’t affected by these rankings.
