Even though, it still remains as the -selling game over the past 12 months. What’s more, is that Rockstar’s GTA V break into the top 5 and it doesn’t seem that the game will be dying anytime soon now. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was at the fourth spot on the list which shows EA was wrong all along about the Single Player games were dead. The story-driven games have been what gaming is all about and all of the old generation of players that made them fell in love with games in the first place. Down below you can see the list of best selling games of January 2020:-

As for hardware, Nintendo Switch was the best selling console in terms of unit and dollar sales. On the other hand, it wasn’t good news for Switch, PS4, and Xbox One because they all experienced year-over-year sales declines in January, which led to a 35 percent decrease in sales year-over-year to $129 million. It is that surprising as January has always been a difficult month for console sales because it follows the very busy holiday shopping season. In the accessories section, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller was still at the top-seller in January and it has held this position since its launch in November. Furthermore, it is the fifth fastest-selling accessory in US history, according to NPD. Both the accessories and game card spending for January reached $238 million might sound good but actually is down 11 percent. When combining all three things (games, hardware, and accessories) makes a total of $678 million, which is down 26 percent. The NPD said this downturn was mainly because of the “lighter” slate of new releases and “late-cycle hardware dynamics” for the PS4 and Xbox One.
