Microsoft has just revealed its November total for the Xbox 360 in the US. Following a massive Black Friday week surge, the Xbox 360 managed a total of 1.26 million for the month. It was the 23rd consecutive month that Xbox 360 managed to come out as the top selling console.

!!!Congratulations Microsoft!!!
Edit - Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in November (Hardware, software and accessories) reached $1.2 billion, Which was also the most for any console in the US. Microsoft Said.
Edit 2 - Disagrees! ??? ^ - ^
Sony: start preparing for fall 2013 so you don't look like a chump 2 yrs in a row!
"It's worth noting, however, that what the NPD Group considers "November" is actually October 28 through November 24, which means that sales from the Sunday and Monday following Black Friday did not contribute."
"As has become the routine, Microsoft holds top honors as far as console sales are concerned, with consumers purchasing 1.26 million Xbox 360s over the course of November and 750,000 during Black Friday week alone."

That is some very strong sales and likely beat last years ridiculous sales numbers.
Congrats MS! Now, hurry and release the next Xbox.
"I mean sales from now on worldwide."
That is some hardcore grasping of straws. Wow.
This generation will go down in history as the emergence of the Xbox 360, the domination of the casual Nintendo Wii, and the collapse of the Playstation brand.
Not saying the PS3 isn't a success. But when compared to the PS2...well...just take a look a Sony's current financial situation.
The looser from last generation is the only ones that gained from this generation. Sony had everything to loose and they lost their shirt.
Arguably Nintendo gained the most, not from just more console sold, but also mind share. Nintendo's brand is very strong right now, and so is MS.
Sony's glory days are long over, so we gotta wait until next generation when the reset button is hit. Just this time, the other brands is stronger than ever.
I'm hoping for a 3-way tie with intense competition. That is how we got some really awesome products like Wii motion controls and then Kinect.
They didn't break records this year, as you had the Wii-U launch and the PS3 is still going to have it's success as well, but when you launched 7 years ago it is definately huge that you remain on top in your biggest region.
After E3 they bashed Micrsoft for leading with Halo 4 and finishing with Black Ops 2.
Fast forward and they are thanking those two titles for helping them grab 1 billion plus sales in a month.
But let's face it, it's time for the new console, it would be suicide for them to not move onto the 720 next year.

But if they wait another year, I would definately agree with you on the milking thing

As a PS3 lover myself, I gotta give credit where it's due. MS is doing a great job promoting the Xbox. Sony should take notes.
Halo 4, Forza Horizon, Assassin's Creed 3, Dishonored, Borderlands 2, Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders 2, Lego Lord of the Rings, Dragon's Dogma, Black Ops, Resident Evil 6.
I really do not understand the Xbox. How can it sell this many. Color me impressed.
The same people that complain about the price of Xbox Live have phone contracts that cost them $100 a month. Xbox Live is still no where close to the cost of a average paid MMO but we'll see where it goes in the future. I don't see Microsoft making Xbox Live a free service anytime soon.
Crazy
We don't need the Xbox 720, The Xbox 360 is definetly not maxed out
news4gamers everyone
Edit: @ KonaBro below, what are you talking about...as the Xbox 360 enters its seventh year on the market, Microsoft has announced that its second game console has sold 70 million units worldwide since it launched in 2005. It still trails the 96.56 million Wii consoles Nintendo has sold, but in terms of competing with Sony’s PlayStation 3, it’s still in the lead by about 6.1 million units.
Even with seven years under its belt, the Xbox 360 isn’t slowing down. Microsoft is slowly rolling out a new Dashboard update that’ll add a customizable UI, Internet Explorer and Xbox Music to the game console. Add the new possibilities of SmartGlass and the Xbox 360 doesn’t look like it even needs to be replaced any time soon.
Microsoft is also generously slashing $50 off most Xbox 360 consoles and selling new holiday bundles to make its console the best gaming deal this year.
People forget that MS is the youngest out of the 3 in the console business and people left them for dead because how bad the first Xbox sold but they managed to prove people wrong by making the 360 Americas favorite console.
God bless America.
How does Microsoft feel about selling over a million to Americans who are invested in MS and not being able to sell as well in Europe or at all in Asia? Surely, they must have some strategy because if they are planning on relying on America to save them every Xmas, it's going to come back to bite them.
Did you post your comment to make yourself feel better?
i love mine, and halo 4 is an amazing game and a system seller
Sony take notes, this is how to get hot in the holidays
Best Games this holiday season all on 360, not wonder its selling so many.
its a great console with a insane catalog of games available since 2005.
I have Xbox 360 since 2005 and never regret buying it, Live is GREAT, XBLA is amazing and haters gonna hate.
