Thanks to Black Friday and the holiday buying season, the video games industry experienced blistering sales during November.
Nintendo walked away as the big dog, selling a record number of hardware units. The Nintendo DS handheld sold an astonishing 1.53 million units – 653,000 of them during Black Friday week. The Wii likely sold out its entire supply at 981,000 consoles, with nearly a third of them during the long weekend. Although Sony remained at the bottom half of the NPD Group sales list, it also had a very strong month. 567,000 PSPs and 496,000 PlayStation 2 consoles were sold, proving the staying power of Sony’s older hardware. The PlayStation 3, while in last place of the current market systems, shot up in demand to hit a new high with 466,000 units sold.
