April NPD: PS4's Tops US Hardware Sales Yet Again, While Titanfall Remains Best Selling Game

For a fourth consecutive month, the PS4 has topped the hardware charts in the US, while Titanfall is still selling a proverbial buttload of copies.
Titanfall held on to the number one spot for its second consecutive month, given a serious boost by its release on Xbox 360. New release The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came in at eighth, but apart from that the charts were pretty grim – just the big old favourites of Call of Duty, NBA 2K, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto and Assassin’s Creed.

In other NPD news, total industry sales climbed 17% year-on-year $580.3 million, probably because next-gen hardware is still selling strongly, up 76% year-on-year at $192.8 million.
Sadly, software sales were down 10% year-on-year to $227.9 million, but accessories jumped 21% year-on-year to $159.7 million.  PS4 was the top-selling hardware for the fourth consecutive month, but the NPD noted that the Xbox One is selling well, too, and even the Wii U’s not doing too badly-software wise.
“Life to date, sales of PS4 and Xbox One hardware have more than doubled the combined sales of PS3 and 360 hardware through their first six months of sales,” NPD analyst Liam Callahan said.
“PS4 software combined with Xbox One software sales are up over 40% compared to sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360 through their first six months. Wii U software sales were up over last year by over 80%.”
As usual, Microsoft was the first to send a response to the report; Nintendo and Sony haven’t commented yet.  The platform holder said it sold about 115,000 Xbox One units sold in April 2014, along with 71,000 Xbox 360 consoles. 447,000 Xbox One games were shifted along with 2.2 million Xbox 360 games
