While we have already heard from both Sony and Microsoft when it comes to sales numbers of the two new gaming consoles, now official sales tracking firm NPD is ready to sound off on November’s numbers.<\/p>\n

As we previously expected, PlayStation 4 was the highest selling console for the month of November. Xbox One, which came in second, was November’s “fastest selling” console according to NPD, with units flying of the shelves at a rate of 101K per day. We know that Sony has sold about 2.1 million new PS4s so far and Microsoft is closer to 2 million even, but NPD notes that when “looking at sales on an average per-week basis, Xbox One actually led PS4.” Even with the one week head start and a much broader number of regions where PS4 is available, Xbox One looks to be keeping things interesting.<\/p>\n

NPD reports that last month was the best November for gaming hardware sales in the US due to the launch of the new consoles. Hardware sales generated $1.3 billion, a steady rise of 58% from the $839.1 million brought in this time last year.<\/p>\n

NPD also dropped last month’s hottest selling titles saying that software sales in general were down 24% to $1.085 billion from $1.434 billion last year. The month’s top selling games across all platforms in order are as follows: Call Of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Madden NFL 25, and Grand Theft Auto V. The list accounts for collector, GOTY and bundle editions, but not those bundled with hardware.<\/p>\n

“This is the fourth consecutive month for an increase in combined physical sales across hardware, software and accessories,” NPD analyst Liam Callahan said. \\”Unlike the past three months where growth was driven by software, positive trends for both hardware and accessory sales drove on overall increase of 7%.\u201d<\/p>\n
