Dragon Ball FighterZ, the fighting game based on the popular series by Akira Toriyama, has had a great launch, selling nicely on all formats, and it's setting out to be one of the most popular fighting games in recent times.

　　SuperData Research recently released a report regarding worldwide digital sales, which have increased by 11% in January. Among the best selling games are Call of Duty: WWII, Monster Hunter World, Grand Theft Auto V, Fortnite Battle Royale and Dragon Ball FighterZ. The Arc System Works developed game is also the most successful fighting game digital console launch of all time.

　　Worldwide digital spending grew 11% in January year over year. Gamers spent $8.9B billion digitally on games across all platforms in January. Continuing their decline, the Social and Pay-to-Play MMO segments shrank 5% and 9%, respectively. The Premium PC segment grew 24%, while the digital console market grew a staggering 57% year-over-year. Console’s fantastic growth was due in part to the success of Monster Hunter: World and the triple-A slate released during the holidays. Mobile and Free-to-Play MMO segments continued to grow, 11% and 1%, respectively.
