Now that the holiday season is officially over, NPD Group has shared details about the best-selling programs, software, and decorations for December and 2019. Prior to Hardware, Nintendo had another great year in the US.
The switchch was the best-selling place in December and was completed as the best seller of 2019. The switchch Pro Controller also became the best-selling accessory in 2019. Despite being dominated by Nintendo this year, Soul & # 39; s PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console of the decade and its boss – DualShock 4 – was the best-selling item of the decade.
Here's a great photo, to break it up:
Aside from the success of Change in 2019, computer spending in December has decreased compared to sales in December 2018 and annual spending for hardware has also decreased. Adjusting the profit was enough to offset this decline, or:
Hardware usage in December of 2019 dropped 17 percent compared to the previous year, to $ 973 million. Hardware's annual spending decreased 22 percent, to $ 3.9 billion. The benefits of Nintendo Switch have not been able to slow the decline on all platforms.
Spending on "accessories and game cards" decreased by 14% (down to $ 999 million) compared to last December, and for the year, sales of cards and other instruments dropped 7% (to $ 4.1 billion). Altogether, the amount spent on video game Hardware, software, accessories and game cards in December of 2019, was $ 3.0 billion – 15% less compared to spending the previous year. Annually, spending fell 13% (down to $ 14.5 billion).
Earlier this month, NPD industry analyst Matt Piscatella noted how the video game industry, in general, could see a decline in hardware sales as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One end their life cycles.
