Mat 2025 Circana (NPD) covers the four-week period from May 3 to May 30 and will be released on June 26.
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.
