Consumer spending on video games in the United States was down year-over-year in August, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Here are the full results across all major game-related categories:

August 2019 Dollar Sales Aug’18 Aug’19 Change Total Video Game Sales $812m $666m -18% Video Games Hardware $214m $167m -22% PC & Video Games Software (PC, Console and Portable; Physical and Full Game Digital Formats from the STEAM, PlayStation and Xbox platforms) $341m $257m -24% Video Games Accessories & Game Cards $257m $242m -6%

“August 2019 tracked spending across video game hardware, software, accessories, and game cards totaled $666 million, falling 18 percent when compared to a year ago,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Declines were experienced across all categories.”

The poor performance in August dragged down the year overall.

“Year-to-date spending across tracked video game hardware, software, accessories, and game cards has fallen 6 percent when compared to 2018, to $7 billion,” said Piscatella. “Declines in hardware spending have offset slight growth in software sales.”

Let’s do the charts, and read more about the hardware and accessory results right here.

Software

NPD tracks physical sales at retailers, but it also gets digital data directly from publishers. But not every company participates. For example, Nintendo doesn’t share its first-party sales, and Activision Blizzard does not provide its Battle.net sales.

These charts are sorted by dollar sales — not number of units sold.

You can probably tell by looking at the list above that August was not a great month for software sales. Minecraft, a 10-year-old game, was the second-best seller of the month. And 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V was No. 3. August had no new releases that made a dent unless you count Madden, which technically launched in NPD’s July tracking period.

And NPD confirmed that this was the worst August in terms of software sales in more than 20 years.

“Dollar sales of tracked video game software fell 22 percent in August versus a year ago, to $257 million,” said Piscatella. “This represents the lowest total software sales in an August month since August 1998, which was $234 million.”

Overall, 2019 is still on par with last year’s software sales, but that is due primarily to the newer of the three major console platforms.

“Year-to-date dollar sales of tracked video game software increased 1 percent, to $3.1 billion,” said Piscatella. “Nintendo Switch performance has driven the growth.”

Madden NFL 20

“Madden NFL 20 repeated as the month’s best-selling video game,” said Piscatella. “This is the seventh consecutive year in which a Madden NFL game was August’s best seller. Madden NFL 20 is currently the third best-selling game of 2019.”

Minecraft

“Minecraft was the 2nd best-selling video game of August 2019, an all-time high placement on the best-sellers chart,” said Piscatella. “Minecraft currently ranks as the 13th best-selling game of 2019.”

Age of Wonder: Planetfall

“Age of Wonders: Planetfall from Triumph Studios and Paradox Interactive debuted as the 15th best-selling game of August,” said Piscatella. “This is the first release in the Age of Wonders franchise since Age of Wonders III launched in March, 2014. Age of Wonders: Planetfall generated the highest launch month sales of any title in franchise history.”

Nintendo

Five of the top 10 best-selling video games of August 2019 are Nintendo platform exclusives. Astral Chain launched as the 10th best-selling game of August, the only new release to place among the top 10 sellers of the month.
