Update: GamesBeat added this quote to its article from NPD analyst Liam Callahan:

“If sales for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, and the special edition for Fire Emblem Fates were combined, this title would have ranked third for new physical software sales. The combined first month sales of Fire Emblem Fates would more than triple the first month sales of the next-highest game within the franchise, Fire Emblem: Awakening.”

NPD Group has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of February 2016. The results can be found below.

1. Far Cry: Primal (PS4, Xbox One)

2. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

3. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)

4. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm (PS4, Xbox One)

5. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)

6. Lego Marvel Avengers (360, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Vita)

7. Street Fighter V (PS4)

8. Minecraft (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)

9. Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (3DS)

10. Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

It’s important to note that Fire Emblem Fates’ placement on the chart is only based on Birthright’s sales, which outsold Conquest. If you count Conquest and the special edition, Fates would have been closer to the top. I’m sure Nintendo is very pleased with how the games are selling in the United States thus far.
