November NPD 09: Modern Warfare 2 Topples Competition With Over 6 Million Units Sold
by Mike Bendel on December 10, 2009 @ 6:59 pm
Unsurprisingly, Modern Warfare 2 took the lead in NPD’s industry sales charts for the month of November, clocking in in over 6 million unit sales for publisher Activision on Xbox 360 and PS3 alone. With yet-to-be-released PC figures thrown into the mix, we wouldn’t be surprised to see that number inch very close to 7 million.
Hardware sales were up across the board as well. PS3 and Xbox 360 received a decidedly welcomed boost over October numbers, shifting 710,400 and 819,000 units respectively. DS trumped everything on the hardware front, moving 1.7 million units, with the Wii trailing at 1.2 million, reinforcing Nintendo’s position as current market leader. Overall, this November was recorded as the second best in industry history, according to NPD.
