The NPD Group has revealed the best-selling video games in the United States during the month of August. The only title on Nintendo platforms was the latest entry in the LEGO series, LEGO Jurassic World, which is doing better on the Wii U than the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Anyway, here’s the games that sold the most during August 2015.
- Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
- Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)
- Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (Xbox One)
- Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
- Lego: Jurassic World (360, 3DS, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Vita)
- Rare Replay (Xbox One)
- Until Dawn (PS4)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Combo Pack (360, PS3)
- Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One)

I swear. Everybody an their Grandma owns Minecraft by now. Howis it STILL doing this well???
How dare your comment go before mine! I was here first! D:< lol
Oops…XD
Yeah everybody should own the game by now. I got tired of it years ago.
I only bought it because it was $20 dollars back in August of last year. I’ve never touched the game since.
It has always been 20$
I didn’t know that. Still boring
I bought it for $5 and still found it boring. People say Minecraft is better on PC with mods. But I really don’t care enough to mod it either.
Why am I not surprised that the football game sold the most in the US? Oh that’s right! It’s fucking football season!
Just like Football in the U.K. Except in your case, it is American Football and in my case, it’s Football, as in what you Americans call Soccer.
I know. We’re weird like that. Trying to be different from the country we use to be part of seems to be a trend that has no intention of letting up any time soon.
“Trying to be different from the country we used to be part of”?…. Move to Europe if you hate your country so much… We separated from England because…….. hell nevermind….
Lol!
Whoa now. Where does my post say I hate my country? I was simply stating a fact. I’m fine with how the US is. We could get better health care & we could do without all the far right & far left politicians we have, but aside from that, I love my country. It’s better than say North Korea, that’s for certain.
Soccer is far more entertaining for me personally. Those guys are moving…
Football games (Madden) suck. Shits straight ass each and every year. Only the stupid idiots buy it because they are two lazy to do the drafts
No, it’s not “American football” here. It’s just football. It’s only American football outside of America… Just wanted to clarify…
Well guess what? I live outside of America. So to me, it IS American Football…
OK not a problem but don’t call the real football soccer please. for me football (the one you play with foot, not your hand) is the real football not American football which is personally rugby for faggot….
Lemme guess, you Nintendo fanboys are going to say, that the U.S have bad taste as well as the U.K now?
Because it’s true. Only idiot dude bros play sports games.
Just be happy console games are doing really well you pleb
Nobody mentioned anything like that, until YOU mentioned it. So if anything, you were INVITING THEM…
well it just a pay back.. it’s not?????? in fact your are worse than UK cause in Uk they have at least 3 Wii U games in the top 40 you just have 1…….
Fucking casuals, just like the UK. Madden and FIFA sucks dick.
1: Played it years ago (yes its basically the SAME game)
2: Played it years ago
3: Played it years ago
4: Played it years ago
5: Same game like all the other Lego games
6: My copy wont play for some reason..
7: Never heard of it
8: Played it years ago
9: Played and it sucks, the first two were way better(I hate destroying fucking drone tanks)
10: Played it years ago
So basically this list mainly consist of OLD games and they say Nintendo has no games. GTFO!
I don’t like most of these games, especially GTA. It is really boring.

when i had a PS4 i got bored with all these games to be honest… I sold it got a Wii U. im a buy nvidia shield TV Instead of the PS4. it does 4K Games and NVIDIA Plays PC Games on the TV. Fuk PS4. WiiU/nvidiaShield Ftw! i’m a be a PC/WIIU Gamer that’s it. PS4 “Next Gen” is so boring… I’m a buy Mario Maker on Saturday. cant tommorow.
Weird, I find the Wii U to be boring. The games just don’t interest me anymore.
xD Backwards
Weird, I find the games to be boring. The Wii U just don’t interest me anymore.
Does that sound better?
More like Bitter XD
Riley….. Stop lieing. It’s obvious your telling lies. Nobody would sell thier ps4 to buy a wiiu. They would just buy a Wii u and keep thier ps4. I mean why would you even buy a ps4 if you would be so willing to sell it so easily? Hell the thing cost 400 bucs! But yea, I just dropped 400 bucs on a ps4, I think I’m gonna sell it for a 200 dollar Wii U…
C’mon Riley…. I love nintendo too, but no need to lie…
Nice lie, fanboy.
It doesn’t matter that it does 4K because you most likely don’t have the TV or monitor capable of that resolution. And even if you did, you won’t be getting 60FPS at all. Unless all you play are older games.
Thx for telling me. I do have a 1080p 60fsp TV. Black screen tv cost me $1,000
Also, the Nvidia Shield is an Android device. You aren’t limited to just the Android games because you can stream games over Wi-Fi with Nvidia’s Grid cloud gaming service. Honestly, I’d rather build my own PC for gaming because I don’t want everything to be dependant on my internet connection and the issue of certain games I want not being compatibile yet, etc. But I guess if you really can’t afford to build a PC and you’re fine with streaming, I guess it would be ok.
Gta 5 should have had more content.
[~.~] hopefully 6 is massive and way more in depth then they made it out to be at first.
It does. They just focus on new content for online though.
I really find it a lifeless world where nothing spectacular happens. I got tired of GTA before 7th gen started. Same shit, different maps.
I haven’t played the others, but GTA V is the best game I’ve played in years. And San Andreas is worth checking out too from what I’ve heard.
I highly recommend GTA: San Andreas. It takes place in the same place as GTAV.
Bleh! I still haven’t beaten that game! D: In fact, I haven’t beaten GTA3, either. Vice City is the only one I actually beat.
GTAV isn’t really as big as people think. San Andreas is even bigger than GTAV believe it or not. GTA Online makes up for it, though.
I love screwing around in gta5. Great music to cruise to and f*** stuff up.
Isn’t murder & stealing against your religion? If you are going to hate a game for having homosexual relationships because of your religion, you should hate these games as well and should also steer clear of them. Now if you believe video games that are fictional should not be weighed down by such things as religion, then why do you insist on hating video games that dare to have such things as homosexuality in it? In conclusion, I have to wonder if you dislike homosexuals because of your religion or if you just hate them because they are different.
