  • Breakdown for November and yearly console sales figures

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Looks like the DS is starting to pull away from the PSP here. And the 360 outsold both the Wii and the PS3 in November, which isn't a real shocker. The GBA and PS2 are still going strong, but they should die off next year.

Microsoft lost marketshare vs. Sony, and Nintendo leads the way with 935 million dollars of the 1.7 billion dollars revenue from this November (which is a huge increase over last years 1.3 billion). These are US sales through November 26th as tracked by NPD:

2. PS2 Final Fantasy XII - 896,000 / $49M

This is one of the rare cases where I agree with being called a Nazi =)
