NPD Group: Mortal Kombat X is the best-selling fighting game in the US for October 2019

NPD Group Analyst Mat Piscatella uncovered interesting information regarding the video game market in the United States. He was asked to post sales of fighting games, which he did. The most popular game in the genre was Mortal Kombat X.

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One rankings are dominated by fighting games from NetherRealm Studios: Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat 11 и Injustice 2. The former was also in the top 5 fighting games for the Nintendo Switch, but it is bypassed ARMS.

The ranking of fighting games on the Nintendo Switch tops Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is followed by Pokken Tournament DX, and ARMS closes the top three. It is worth noting that Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 appears in the rating of all platforms.
