Revenue Sony could lose in the future If you need any more evidence of how important today's news of
Microsoft purchasing Activision Blizzard for $70 billion and what that means for Sony, here it is: Call of Duty: Vanguard was the
best-selling game of the year on PlayStation 5, PS4 consoles across the US. Despite a downwards trend in sales, the FPS out of Sledgehammer Games topped the list for the year, and even 2020 title Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was third. All
the revenue Sony generated from those sales could now be lost once the deal is sealed. Even when the information is whittled down to just the single month of December 2021 — when purchases presumably increase for the Christmas season — Call of Duty: Vanguard was also the best-selling title on PS5, PS4. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was the second best seller and
Madden NFL 22 retained its position from November 2021 in third. * Digital sales not included [source twitter.com]  Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
NPD Group has released US video game industry sales numbers, including the top selling video games of November 2021. At the top of the charts was Activision’s Call of Duty: Vanguard, followed by Electronic Arts’ Battlefield 2042, among other new releases. However, the numbers also indicate a sharp decline in next-gen console sales across the board with hardware dollar sales falling a whopping 38% compared to November 2020.
Journalist Mat Piscatella outlined a few key numbers via Twitter. Across all platforms, Call of Duty: Vanguard took first place as the best-selling game in November 2021. It also took home the title of the second best-selling game of 2021, just behind Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Meanwhile, Battlefield 2042 took second place in the month of November 2021 on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles, despite some pretty serious gameplay issues on launch. Though console sales declined 38% compared to November last year, it’s important to note that total sales in the year 2021 have increased 20%. Piscatella notes that the most likely culprit of this seasonal drop is the ongoing shortage in consoles due in part to the global pandemic and chip shortages. The Nintendo Switch, on the other hand, continues to dominate the console market in terms of sales numbers. Switch exclusive Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl also earned third place in November 2021 game sales. You can check out the top 10 best selling video games of November 2021 below:
