March 2025 Circana (NPD) covers the five-week period from March 1 to April 4 and will be released on April 22.
Since Circana (NPD) leaks don't happen nearly as often as it used to and hardware revenue is something we do get, be sure to include revenue in your predictions.
Feel free to also predict what you think the top software games will be for the month.
