US, December 13, 2007 - Videogame software sales tracker NPD Group released November data and, unsurprisingly, Nintendo's DS handheld and Wii home console held the number-one and two spots respectively. More than 1.5 million gamers picked up the DS in November and about 981,000 players picked up a Wii, according to NPD data. Microsoft's Xbox 360 console pulled in another 770,000 gamers; PlayStation Portable 567,000; PlayStation 2 496,000 and PlayStation 3 466,000.

The top-selling game of the month was the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4, with nearly 1.5 million in sales. Nintendo's anticipated platformer, Super Mario Galaxy, took the second spot with upward of 1.1 million. Other notable Wii success stories for the month include Wii Play (at number five) with more than 560,000 units sold; the Wii version of Guitar Hero III (at number eight) with more than 425,000 additional units sold, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (at 11) with nearly 330,000 units sold, Lego Star Wars at nearly 180,000 units sold and High School Musical at roughly the same figure.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has sold through almost 500,000 copies in America since it released. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure continues to struggle at retail with less than 35,000 in sales.

I was thinking with the price drop of the Playstation 3 that it would have a huge boost in sales, but seems not, and the Playstation 2 is still going strong it seems happy4.gif . PSP HOMEBREW FTW!!

I wish you guys would stop posting this crap, they mean nothing and do nothing for us...

I mean...

WII SOLD 981,000 UNITS I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW

Usually I wouldn't care for this shit, but it just surprised me that even with the PS3 Drop in price, it still didn't manage much of an impact, I thought that was the main reason for the PS3's failure.
