NPD November 2009: A Happy Month

NPDNovember has come, flexed its muscles, and left just as quickly. The Wii and the DS are unsurprisingly on top of the heap, but the 360 and PS3 weren’t too far behind. The PSP continues to hover around PS2 numbers… one has to wonder what Sony wouldn’t do to have the PSP match the PS2’s mid-lifecycle numbers instead.

November 2009
Nintendo DS – 1,700,000
Wii – 1,260,000
Xbox 360 – 819,500
PlayStation 3 – 710,400
PSP – 293,900
PlayStation 2 – 203,100

October 2009
Nintendo DS – 457,600
Wii – 506,900
PlayStation 3 – 320,600
Xbox 360 – 249,700
PlayStation Portable – 174,600
PlayStation 2 – 117,800

Modern Warfare 2 has sold quite a lot of copies in its first month, handily trouncing all comers. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is unsurprisingly high on the list as well, marking the first of what will likely be many months of talking about its sales… much like the other Nintendo NPD staples on the chart this month. The rest of the sales are heathy as well with Assassin’s Creed II and Left 4 Dead 2 making strong debuts.
