NPD November 2013 Results

[DPatel304]

Overall:

Overall retail sales were up by 7% year over year.
Hardware sales were up by 58% year over year.
Software was down by 24% year over year.
Best month ever for hardware in the US due to the PS4/XB1 launches and a 3DS upturn.

Notes:
-PS4 sold more next-gen software than other next-gen platforms.
-PS4 attach rate is higher than PS3 or PS2.

Nintendo Sales:
-Pokemon X and Y each sold over 225,000 digital + retail. (I think this mean they did over 450K total).
-Zelda 3DS: 280K (or 405K including bundles) combined digital and physical.
-Super Mario 3D World: 215,000 combined digital and physical.
-There's a bunch of percentage increases for legacy software, but we don't have numbers for those.

Hardware:
PlayStation 4: "Top selling next-gen platform."
Xbox One: 909,132 (Fastest selling: 101,000 per day)
Wii U: 220K
Xbox 360: 647K
3DS Estimate: 755-780K [November 2012 was 540K, November 2011 was 795K]

That's all we get for now. Looks like Pachter was off on Xbox One. Let's see how close he is on other platforms.

I'm not surprised about Pokemon X and Y. I have played the older games as a kid and even now as an adult, I'm hearing about other people my age who were lining up to buy this game. I would love to try this game but I wouldn't go that far out of my way! Thanks for the details though, much appreciated.

Poor Wii U. In fact, poor Nintendo in general, as the figures stand. Even the PS3 has sold more than both the Wii and Wii U combined. I am happy to see what a success X and Y are, though.

It is actually somewhat surprising to me that the Xbox One is that far behind its competitor, especially since it attempts to appeal to a market beyond gamers, but ultimately consoles are bought to play games, and Sony does it right.

Hardware sales up is due to the launching of the new gens obviously. The WiiU is mediocre even during holiday season, seems like novelty of motion sensing controls is wearing thin. Software sales down even when so many games came out? That's a little shocking. I'm so happy to see that the PS4 is doing so good.
