The NPD Group has just revealed its sales statistics for the month of December in the U.S., confirming that Call of Duty: Ghosts is the best-selling game of that time period, while Grand Theft Auto 5 is the most popular title of 2013.

Video game sales continue to go down but, even so, millions of copies are sold every month and, at least in the U.S., they're tracked by the NPD group.

For the month of December, the firm has revealed that Call of Duty: Ghosts is the winner, followed by Battlefield 4 and Just Dance 2014.

A chart with the best sellers of 2013 has also been posted, via CVG, confirming that GTA 5 reigns supreme, followed by Ghosts and Madden NFL 25. Check out the lists below.
