The most recent game to be present on this list is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, which is the best-selling game of 2019 in the U.S.

It's also important to remember that Nintendo does not provide digital numbers for its games, making it noteworthy that two games, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8, managed to make the list anyways. Moving away from software into hardware, NPD also confirmed that the PlayStation 4 was the best-selling individual hardware over the past decade.
