According to numbers from the NPD Group, Far Cry Primal was the top selling game for the month of February.

However, according to a statement from the NPD Group, "decreases in hardware spending," as well a decrease in sales of new, physical hardware, "led to an overall decrease in physical spending of 12 percent."

Far Cry Primal wasn't the only new release in the top 10. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, Street Fighter V and Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, also appeared on the list.

If all three versions of Fire Emblem fates were combined into one, the NPD Group said it "would have ranked third for new physical software sales" for the month.

The top 10 games for the month of February are listed in order.

Total hardware sales dropped by 26% over the same period last year. This in spite of the fact February's top selling console, PlayStation 4, reported stronger year-over-year sales. The lion's share of that decline was from last-gen consoles, which saw a decline of 77%, compared to the relatively modest drop of 6% for current-gen.
