Game Industry Sales in November Essentially Flat at $3 Billion
NPD has just released its November U.S. sales data and the numbers show essentially flat sales with last November, $3 billion compared to $2.99 billion. Despite big Black Fridays from hardware companies, hardware was actually down 9% to $982.4 million while software grew 15% to $1.67 billion - thanks largely to blockbusters like Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim and Battlefield 3.
"Overall, the new physical portion of industry sales was essentially flat versus last November. While content sales grew substantially thanks to a great slate of new content, a decline in average retail price in all categories with the exception of portable hardware resulted in flat dollar sales even though unit sales grew for console hardware, as well as console, portable, and pc software,” explained NPD analyst Anita Frazier.
In terms of hardware, Xbox dominated again, although exact figures aren't available yet. “This is the fourth consecutive month in which the Xbox 360 has been the top selling hardware system," said Frazier. "The gap between 360 sales and sales of the next best selling platform was the largest we’ve seen since December 2008 when the Nintendo DS was the top selling system.”
“The month-over-month sales increase versus October that all systems realized is in line with the range we typically see going into November, so hardware performed in line with typical seasonality trends.”
As for software, November was quite impressive. Said Frazier, "This November marks the best November on record for sales of new physical content. November 2008 was previously the best November on record.”
Overall:
Total retail sales: $3 billion (+0.4%)
Total non-PC retail sales: $2.93 billion (-0.5%)
Total software: $1.74 billion (+16%)
Non-PC hardware: $982.4 million (-9%)
Non-PC software: $1.67 billion (+15%)
Accessories: $273.8 million (-34%)

si, ma quello che volevo dire e che il DS è sempre aumentato molto a dicembre, il 360 no, non come il DS, se fa 2.500.000 è tantissimo, se fa 3.000.000 sarebbe qualcosa di pazzescobeh se è per questo nessuno pensava che potesse fare 1.7m a novembre^^ poi si, e 3m sono sicuramente tanti, vedremo...
