March is coming in like a lion with the release of the Switch and the critically-acclaimed Breath of the Wild. Other notable releases are Mass Effect: Andromeda and Nier: Automata. This is sure to be a big month for hardware.
Note: Monthly & weekly rankings are on a one-day delay from the current calendar date. They are usually updated daily on Amazon, usually sometime in the early to mid afternoon. Also, NPD's months are not perfectly matched to Amazon's months. Some items in these rankings may be marked with a typographical symbol:
*Indicates item available for pre-order for release in a later month. Does not count towards current month's sales.
†Indicates used/pre-owned hardware. Does not count towards current month's sales.
