by Mohd Omar

In a month in which the Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console in the United States of America, the most sought-after game was Anthem.

The new Bioware game had a controversial release. But it was the best-selling game in February and became the second best-selling game of 2019 in the US – it is still BioWare’s second best installment behind Mass Effect 3.

Jump Force was the second-best debut of February and got second place, pushing for third Kingdom Hearts 3, which came first in January.

Demonstrating well the appeal of the characters in the game, Jump Force was able to become the third-best debut in Bandai Namco and the fourth best selling game of 2019 in the USA.
