The August NPD report is in, and Madden NFL 19 has taken the top spot on the US sales charts, with Monster Hunter: World making a return at number two. The report, with analysis from Mat Piscatella, notes that Madden has been the best-selling game in August every year since 2000 - with the notable exceptions of 2011 and 2012, though those only missed being the best-selling games in August because they happened to launch in the September tracking period.
