Skylanders and Call of Duty continue to lead for Activision
Both titles ranked in the top 3 in video game sales last year
Activision has announced today that Call of Duty and Skylanders continued to top U.S. NPD charts in 2013.
Call of Duty: Ghosts was the #1 best-selling title overall in December, and the #1 best-selling next gen title of 2013 on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Call of Duty was the #1 franchise for the fifth year in a row in both software units and dollars in the U.S., according to the NPD Group.
The game also is the #1 first person action game of the year in the U.S. and the #1 most played multiplayer title currently for Xbox 360 on Xbox Live online entertainment network from Microsoft.
Meanwhile, Skylanders SWAP Force was the #2 best-selling title overall in December; Skylanders was the #1 best-selling kids video game franchise of 2013 in the U.S. for the second consecutive year, and the #3 video game franchise overall for the year in the U.S., according to the NPD Group and including toys and accessories.
The latest two Skylanders games -- Skylanders Giants and Skylanders SWAP Force - both ranked in the top 5 of kids video games in 2013.
Both franchises have become yearly additions in the publishers' catalog, so it is likely we will see new entries in these franchises this year.
