- Final Fantasy XV was the second best-selling title for December 2016, and was the top-selling title on the PS4, NPD analyst Sam Naji explained in a statement. Final Fantasy XV experienced the best console launch month in the history of the franchise (since tracking began in 1995) selling 19 percent more new physical units than Final Fantasy XIII in its launch month and 54 percent more in total dollar revenue including digital full game sales.
- NPD noted that Pokémon Sun and Moon combined sales are the best for the franchise since 2007s Diamond and Pearl, while a Call of Duty game was in the top spot for ninth year in a row.
- "The Interactive Gaming Toys segment consumer spend sold half the volume the segment achieved a year ago. The only brand to achieve year-on-year growth was LEGO Dimensions, originally launched in September 2015."
