It would appear that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD had a cracking start to life in the US, becoming the best-selling game in the region in its launch month of July.
That’s according to new data from Mat Piscatella, executive director and game industry advisor at The NPD Group. It wasn’t the busiest month for new releases, but when you consider the fact that Skyward Sword HD only launched on the 16th of the month, and that Nintendo doesn’t disclose digital sales to be included in these round-ups, it’s a pretty strong achievement:
As you can see, owing to the fact that Nintendo doesn’t share digital sales data, all Nintendo titles in that list are made up of physical sales only. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in second, as an example, is tracked both physically and digitally, with those combined sales being included here.
Skyward Sword HD also went straight to number one in the UK weekly physical charts, and in the Japanese weekly physical charts.
Have you picked up a copy of the game? Did you think it’d be soaring to number one in the charts? Let us know in the usual place.
