Below are the November NPD numbers and what can you say about Nintendo. When i talked to Chuck earlier he was expecting about a million sales of the Wii. Little did we know that it sold over 2 million instead. The 360 hit a solid 836k in sales while the PlayStation 3... well you can just see for yourself below and make your own assumptions. All consoles saw a boost in numbers but nothing like the Wii and DS. I mean the Wii sold more than 5X the amount of PS3s and a little more than 2X the 360s.
