PlayStation 5 launch was the biggest in video game history in the US

Mat Piscatella, an analyst at the NPD Group , revealed sales data for the US gaming industry for November 2020. According to him, the launch of the PlayStation 5 was the largest in the history of video games in the country.

According to Piscatella, the PS5 won the biggest revenue and copies sold for a month of console debut in Uncle Sam's Land. The previous record belonged to the PlayStation 4, which hit the market in November 2013.

Despite this, the Nintendo Switch was the console that sold the most units in the US in November 2020. This is probably due to the limited number of PlayStation 5 in stores - Sony promises to supply them by the end of the year.

On the other hand, the PS5 raised more dollars last month in the United States. Consumption on all consoles reached $1.4 billion - a significant increase compared to November 2019, which obtained $900 million in this regard.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War dominates the market


Mat Piscatella also released games that dominated the North American market in November 2020. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War debuted in the lead and has already become the best-selling game of the entire year in the country.

Meanwhile, Assassin's Creed Valhalla took second place. The Viking adventure reached the highest sales figures for the franchise in a single month in Uncle Sam's Land since Assassin's Creed III (2012).

Below are the top 20 best-selling titles in the U.S. in November 2020 (not including digital sales):

Also worth mentioning is the debut of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, on PlayStation 5 and 4. This has become the second biggest release of a superhero title in US history - second only to Marvel's Spider-Man.
