EEEDAR analyst Doug Creutz believes the Xbox 360 was the bestselling console in the US for the month of November. He says the console sold 1.35 million units during the month, which means a 20 percent drop year-on-year.
Creutz has also given his sales figures for the other video game platforms. Nintendo's new console, the Wii U, is expected to have sold about 450,000, however sales could have been higher if Nintendo was able to ship more units. He also predicted $50 million in Wii U software sold. He also predicted the 3DS to be flat year-on-year with sales of 800,000. The Wii is expected to sell 170,000 units for the month and the DS 260,000 units.
america is xbox land we know this.
Ok, so this is a very confusing assessment of sales. Sony only sold 800,000 during November? It sold 525,000 on Black Friday alone. So it only sold 275,000 for the remaining 3 weeks? Get outa here. 1.2 to 1.4 million sales is closer to the truth with the 360 outselling it by 150,000 to 200,000. Even VGchartz, who undertracked the Black Friday figures has the PS3 selling 752,337 last week.
The fact that Xbox was number one for November isn't a surprise. The fact that it was down also isn't a surprise, last year it sold over a million on Black Friday. We also have to keep in mind that the Xbox 360 had its best year ever last year, would have been a hard year to top.
Xbox 360 is long in the tooth and the fact that its still leading anywhere is pretty impressive, it speaks to the quality and fanbase that Microsoft has achieved this generation.
Xbox.The force is strong in that one.
