Now Playing: Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Video Review
For hardware, the Nintendo Switch was once again the top-selling platform based on units sold, reaching the highest of any console--Nintendo or otherwise--since the Nintendo Wii in January 2010. The PS5, however, drove the most spending in terms of dollars due to its more expensive price point. It reached the highest dollar since for a January month since the Wii in January 2009.
Total spending on hardware rose 144% year-over-year to $319 million, the highest for a January month since January 2011 ($323 million).
In terms of games, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was the top-seller in January; it's been the best-selling game each month since it was released in November. It's also now the 20th best-selling game in US history for dollar sales, after just three months.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla was No. 2 in January, and it's now the second fastest-selling game in the series in the US, only behind Assassin's Creed III, when looking at its first three months.
You can see the full list of the top 20 best-sellers for January below.
Moving to another unit, accessories sales rose 73% to a January record of $222 million. The PS5's white DualSense controller was the best-selling accessory in January.
