The NPD Group has released its monthly report for September, revealing the consoles and games that sold the best in the United States during the month.

　　Starting with games, Sony's PS4 exclusive Spider-Man topped the charts and set a new record for highest launch-month dollar sales for any PlayStation exclusive ever. The game made more money over its launch than any other title across the entire industry this year. To put Spider-Man's success into further perspective, the NPD said first-month sales were 37 percent higher than the combined launch-month sales of every other Spider-Man game released since 1995.

　　NBA 2K19 landed at No. 2 in September, and it enjoyed the highest launch-month dollar sales of any sports game released since NPD started tracking in 1995. NBA 2K19 also had the best launch of any game in the NBA 2K franchise in history.

　　Assassin's Creed: Odyssey made the September chart, landing at No. 3, and it enjoyed double-digit sales growth compared to Assassin's Creed: Origins. The NPD's tracking period for September ran until October 6, just one day after Odyssey launched.

　　Another September highlight was Forza Horizon 4, which had the "highest launch month dollar sales in Forza franchise history, and is the biggest launch for a racing game on any Xbox platform in history. Forza Horizon 4 was the seventh best-selling game of September."

　　September's Shadow of the Tomb Raider debuted at No. 5, but sales dropped compared to the launch month for Rise of the Tomb Raider. Overall, total game sales reached $747 million in September, which is flat compared to last year.

　　On the hardware side, the PS4 was the best-selling console in September in terms of units sold and dollars spent. September was the best month for unit sales of any console (beside a non plug-n-play system) since September 2014. Specifically, the PS4 Slim 1 TB system was the month's best-selling piece of hardware in terms of unit sales and dollar amount.

　　Xbox One sales were strong as well, rising 30 percent compared to a year ago. The Xbox One X 1 TB system is the best-selling Xbox One console for the year for dollars and units sold, which is surprising given the Xbox One S is less expensive. Overall, hardware spending dropped 3 percent to $306 million compared to last year. As mentioned, the PS4 and Xbox One posted gains, but they were not strong enough to offset the declines from other systems.

　　Hardware spending in September 2018 fell 3 percent when compared to a year ago, to $306 million. Significant gains in spending on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hardware were offset by declines across all other platforms.
