The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was May’s best-selling game

On May 19th, The Witcher fans were met with their next obsession: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Since its release Wild Hunt has sold over four million copies and has been receiving some stellar reviews. It only makes sense that the wildly successful game topped the sales charts for May.

The game had 12 days to become the number one selling game for May, which is impressive in and of itself. Something slightly more impressive would be the game sitting in the #5 spot, Splatoon. The game is not available across multiple consoles (unlike Wild Hunt), it is a Wii U exclusive, and it released on May 28th.

Within three days the game reached #5 in the top-selling games for May; now that is impressive.

The rest of the list is composed of the usual suspects, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft, Call of Duty and FIFA. Check out the top-selling games for May below!

  1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
  2. Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
  3. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
  4. Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)
  5. Splatoon (Wii U)
  6. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, 360, Xbox One, PS3, PC)
  7. NBA 2K15 (360, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, PC)
  8. FIFA 15 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS, Vita)
  9. MLB 15: The Show (PS4, PS3)
  10. Super Smash Bros. (3DS, Wii U)

When it comes to console sales, the PlayStation 4 has resumed its position at the top of the charts.
