Nintendo DS was the top selling system last month shifting an impressive 1.5 million units according to NPD. Wii followed with its best month ever selling a hefty 981,000 units, despite shortages. Saying it's good times at Kyoto headquarters is an understatement.
Microsoft also had quite the month selling 770,000 Xbox 360 units, its second best month since launch. But what about the PS3?
"The combination of the price cut and seasonal lift gave the PS3 the biggest October to November sales increase of any hardware platform," said NPD analyst, Anita Frazier. The console sold 466,000 units, though still fewer than the 567,000 PSPs and 496,000 PS2s.
With only one month on store shelves, Call of Duty 4 quickly became the fourth best selling game of the year behind Halo 3, Wii Play, and Pokemon Diamond. Other best selling games included Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, and Guitar Hero III.
Rock Band only sold moderately well when compared to other games.
