Far Cry: Primal was February's top-selling game in US retail shops, according to chart-tracking group NPD.
Interestingly, NPD noted that spin-off Far Cry: Primal had "greater sales than Far Cry 4 when adjusted for the number of days the games sold within their respective launch months."
This is a somewhat faulty metric, however, as most games sell better in their first week than their second. So Far Cry: Primal came out on 23rd February and thus had less than a week on store shelves in its debut month, whereas Far Cry 4 launched on 18th November 2014, giving it twice as much time to be considered. It's unclear if Primal maintained that same momentum in early March.
