November NPD: Best month ever for retail, Xbox
November NPD: Best month ever for retail, Xbox
Joystiq - December 9, 2010
Submitted by afsplat (130) at 10:15AM PST on December 10, 2010
November is traditionally a big, big month for games, thanks to the impending holidays and the temporary financial insanity bestowed upon Americans by the Black Friday Effect. This November may have been the biggest. The NPD reports that last month was the "best November on record in terms of new physical retail sales," ahead of November 2008 by around $30 million. Call of Duty: Black Ops had the biggest first month of any game ever, with 8.4 million copies.

Monthly was the only near-instant gratification. The rest feels like a long haul. No more $1M swings.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 130 ]bids

Agreed although I never really played NPD numbers because of the volatility.
What I find disappointing these days is the distinct lack of volume and as a result, bad pricing. TSE doesn't predict much these days whereas it used to be surprisingly accurate.
