This afternoon we learned from market research firm NPD Group that PS4 was the top-selling console for November and PlayStation was #1 in sales overall for home consoles. This news comes on the heels of yesterday’s confirmation that the PS4 launch is the biggest ever in the history of game consoles. Ever! And it’s all thanks to you."

MS family has beaten the Sony family once again.

lol

You're acting like a mad little child. Stop your crying. Grow up kid.

well it seems most who where caught into Sony hype already got their PS4s.

(and some are already bored of PS4 already, since this forum is filled with them.)

PS: also PS4 launched first - Xbox One sold more per day - and PS4 was priced cheaper.

so X1 sold more per day then PS4 :P

If they keep up the pace they can beat sony in US but prob nowhere else

Nintendo Hardware Sales Increase by 100 Percent, Nintendo 3DS Surpasses 10 Million

Two games that are among the best reviewed of 2013 launched on Nov. 22: Super Mario 3D World for Wii U and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for Nintendo 3DS. The strong response to these games helped sales of Nintendo hardware systems in November increase by 100 percent over the month prior. This includes nearly 770,000 units of the Nintendo 3DS family, which drove the lifetime total past 10 million to nearly 10.5 million units. Other sales milestones achieved for the month include:

Nintendo 3DS Family of Systems

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y each sold more than 225,000 combined digital and physical units in their second month on the market. This brought the combined life-to-date total to more than 2.35 million units. On Dec. 4, Nintendo revealed special edition Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Nintendo 2DS bundles that should keep the games’ momentum going through the holidays and into 2014.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the sixth Nintendo 3DS title to have a Metacritic score of 90 or higher, sold more than 280,000 combined digital and physical units. That figure jumps to more than 405,000 total units when including the special edition Zelda-themed Nintendo 3DS XL system, which comes with a code to download the game.

A handful of first-party Nintendo 3DS titles saw triple-digit sales percentage increases in November over sales in October. This includes standout 2013 titles such as Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (seventh month on market; 140 percent increase) and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (ninth month; 105 percent increase), and legacy titles such as Paper Mario: Sticker Star (13th month; 280 percent increase), Mario Kart 7 (23rd month; 130 percent increase) and Super Mario 3D Land (24th month; 235 percent increase).

Wii U

Sales of Wii U hardware increased by more than 340 percent over sales in October.

Super Mario 3D World for Wii U, currently the highest-rated next-generation title with a Metacritic score of 94, sold more than 215,000 combined digital and physical units in its first eight days on the market.

“This holiday season, Nintendo is offering an unparalleled combination of value and variety,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “In looking at these results, two things are indisputable: Our hardware is gaining momentum at the exact right time and our software catalog is stronger than ever.”

*Data regarding physical sales of games in November are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo’s internal sales figures. All numbers, unless otherwise stated, are specific to the United States only.

Childish reply confirmed. Are there really that many kids in SW? Facts are facts. Deal with it kid.

WiiU supposedly did 220k. I'll surprised if this breaks 15 million lifetime.

I was laughing at your neglect to admit you're a lem, I agree with everything else you said.

So PS4 tops hardware charts. This is what it looks like so far:

• PlayStation 4: 1.4 million
• Xbox One: 909,000
• Nintendo 3DS: 770,000
• Xbox 360: 647,000
• PlayStation 3: ???
• Wii U: 220,000
• PlayStation Vita: ???

Remember boys and girls what Sony has been saying for the last 7 years........."It's a marathon not a sprint". ;)

TCHARHBO!

not really, remember that Nintendo is infamous for never dropping the price on their first party games. So even if Mario sells slowly, they will still be cashing in full price even 3-4 years from now.

@kuu2:

We can only hope X1 hangs close to PS4 but it wont beat them overall in 2013. X1 isn't in nearly as many countries and Europe is more PS leaning

This source is dishing out numbers -

Lol at the damage control.

Poor Vita, the 3DS just keeps putting nails in the coffin, it's so sad and frustrating to see it struggling.

Additional software sales:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds:

405,000

Pokemon X/Y:

225,000

Super Mario 3D World:

215,000

Zelda did surprisingly well.

We got those numbers already from the Nintendo PR lol

Congratulations are in order for Sony *applause*

Shamelessly stolen from Neogaf:

245K (Dreamcast, November 1999)

192K (Dreamcast, November 2000)

259K (Dreamcast, November 2001)

Yeah, WiiU and Vita are in deep sh!t.

EDIT: God-dammit.

Wow looks like Super Mario 3D World was about the only reason people bought a Wii U. It is a great game though so I guess that's good.

Unless you are assuming that the PS3 sold worse than the Wii U, no, no it didn't.

They don't need to, others have done it for them.

@blackace: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wal-mart-getting-largest-ps4-shipment-to-date-this-weekend/1100-6416661/

'walmart getting largest shipment ps4 shipment to date this weekend' bu-bu-bu- black friday!!!!! hahahaha

It did better than I was expecting. I expect it to touch about 2.5 million LTD, so this is a good start in one territory.

I'm not including handhelds.

Cranky Kong would have helped greatly.
