The NPD Group has released its US revenue results for August 2020, which once again saw year-over-year growth and a number of  Madden 21 coins hitting the top ten in sales figures. Overall consumer spending August 2020 reach $3.3 billion, representing a 37 percent year-over-year increase. That attracted year-to-date consumer spending around $29.4 billion, which is 23% greater than the exact same time period in 2019.

Gear spending was up 37 percent year-over-year, whilst game content (such as DLC and subscriptions) was up 37%, and accessories were up 42%.

Nintendo Alter set a new US August hardware sales record. That defeat the previous record set in 2008 from Nintendo Wii. NPD says that Switch unit sales more than doubled over precisely the exact same period this past year. That strength was reflected in software sales also, as nine of the top 20 are Switch exclusives, and that's without counting digital sales for Switch matches.

The top-selling game in August has been Madden NFL 21, and this year's entry in the annual football franchise is currently #6 in the year-to-date charts. Its strong performance is no surprise, though, as NPD notes this is the 21st year in a row that a cheap mut coins madden 21 match has been the best-seller in its own release month.
