Overview
- Circana’s February 2026 chart, shared by analyst Mat Piscatella, ranks Resident Evil Requiem first, followed by NBA 2K26 at No. 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at No. 3 in U.S. sales.
- Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined and Mario Tennis Fever entered the rankings, though secondary reporting introduced a mismatch on Dragon Quest 7’s position and labeled a 20‑entry list as a “top ten.”
- Nintendo’s digital sales are not included in Circana’s reporting, limiting visibility into full performance for titles like Mario Tennis Fever and Pokémon Legends: Z‑A.
- Overall U.S. spending was essentially flat versus February 2025 as subscription revenue rose 27%, while hardware spending grew 22% with PlayStation 5 the top‑selling console.
- Switch 2 momentum helped support hardware results and is trending 45% ahead of the original Switch in life‑to‑date install base, as Resident Evil Requiem’s launch outpaced Resident Evil Village by 60% and surpassed 6 million units sold.
