Xbox 360 Beats Nintendo Wii U During November in the US

The NPD Group has produced preliminary profits estimates for the North American market place in the course of the month of November and, in spite of the high profile launch of the Wii U from Nintendo, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft was the major winner.

The formal NPD Team listing, as quoted by GoNintendo, reads:

Xbox 360 &ndash one. 4 million, a 17 p.c drop
PlayStation three &ndash 700,000 units, a drop of 22%
Wii U - 450,000
3DS - 440,000, a decrease of forty five %
Wii - 435,000, a drop of more than 50 %
DS - 375,000 models
PlayStation Vita - 190,000

The general consoles profits totaled up to more than four million during November, which is a slight fall when in contrast to the very same thirty day period in 2011.

Analysts predicted to see the launch of the Wii U possessing a good impact on the marketplace.
