Xbox 360 Dominates Console Sales - November NPD Results

Share

The November NPD sales figures are out for the North America video game industry, and today Microsoft's very own Major Nelson revealed some Xbox 360 related news to share with you. Even though the data is not as informative as it was before the NPD changed their reporting system it still provides a general look at who our beloved industry is fairing - 2.95 BILLION dollars in total video game related sales for the month of November; of course Call of Duty: Black Ops, the biggest entertainment launch in history, may be the cause for a couple billion in spent cash. Still the overall sales were better by almost 10% from this month last year (huge Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales had a hand in the positive as well); a good sign that our industry isn't going anywhere soon. The NP doesn't reveal accessory sales so for now we don't know the exact number of Kinect and PS Move units sold in the month of November.
