Microsoft Takes NPD For A Spin

December 13th, 2007 by Brian Lockhart in News

Microsoft had a good month in November. They sold well with software, and even though Nintendo stole the show with hardware, over 700K was nothing to shake a stick at. Already Microsoft was prepped, focusing on their better highlights for the month of November, and instead glossing over their Bronze placing finish.

“Fueled by the greatest holiday lineup in video game history, consumers spent more holiday dollars on Xbox 360 consoles, games and accessories than any other platform in the month of November according to NPD.

#1 in Game Sales: Four of the Top Ten Titles are on Xbox 360, compared to three on the Wii and two on the PS3.

Xbox 360 holds the #1 title with “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” (Activision), selling nearly 1.5 million units on Xbox 360, compared to 444,000 units on the PS3.

#1 in Total Revenue: Xbox 360 leads in total revenue with $763 million compared to $587 million for Wii and $364 million for PS3 according to NPD.

#1 in Game Quality: Xbox 360 delivers the highest-rated games lineup this generation, with 6 out of the top 10 rated games through the end of November according to Metacritic, the world-wide authority in entertainment reviews.”

Sure 360 has the highest net revenue, but that doesn’t into account gross revenue, for which they are often in the red.
