Spring is almost here, and we're coming up on the first anniversary of the release of the Nintendo Switch. There's several notable releases this month, including Far Cry 5, Sea of Thieves, Ni no Kuni II, and Kirby Star Allies. Due to the January NPD period being a 5-week period, they are including the first week of April into the March period.
Note: Monthly & weekly rankings are usually updated daily on Amazon, typically sometime in the early to mid afternoon. Also, NPD's months, which use a "4-4-5" calendar, are not perfectly matched to Amazon's months, which go by the standard calendar. 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 NPD numbers.
† Indicates item currently being sold primarily or exclusively through third-party sellers due to limited stock. Most or all sales don't count towards NPD numbers.
‡ Indicates used/pre-owned hardware. Does not count towards NPD numbers.
