Analyst: Nintendo’s NES Classic was the top-selling console in the US in June

According to an analyst from the NPD Group, Nintendo’s NES Classic was the most sold console in the US for the month of June. The sales of the PS4 yielded even more. Fire Emblem Heroes is Nintendo’s most successful mobile game.

The information was on Twitter shared by Mat Piscatella of the NPD Group. This company says it started in 1995 with tracking the sales figures of the various hardware platforms. The NES Classic went back on sale on June 29, bringing sales within a short period of time.

In terms of dollar value of sales, the PlayStation 4 leads the way in the month of June; according to Piscatella, this is the best-selling console of the year so far. He adds that Mario Tennis Aces was the best-selling game during the month of June, with God of War taking second place.

Analyst agency Sensor Tower also made statistics about Nintendo available. It writes that the game Fire Emblem Heroes has grossed about $400 million since it came out for Android and iOS about a year and a half ago. This makes it the mobile game that made the most money for Nintendo.

For example, the mobile games Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp would have brought in $64 and about $42 million respectively. Fire Emblem Heroes’ revenues are almost evenly distributed across the two mobile platforms. Most of the income, 56 percent, came from Japan. The US is in second place with 31 percent, according to Sensor Tower.
