November NPD: Holy holidays, Batman!

By Alisha Karabinus

Between the holiday demand and perhaps the influence of a few particularly sweet bundles, sales of the DS Lite tripled in November in the U.S. Yes, folks, that's like taking a Lite and turning it into Lite-Lite-Lite. Oh, and it must be said — we're back on top, as well. But with 1.5 million units sold, how could we not be? Not only is the DS in demand, but it's actually available. We hear that's a huge plus.

On a hilarious side note, no DS games made it into the top ten in sales. It's all about the hardware. Or maybe there are just so many games from which you may choose (though you wouldn't know it from our tastes) that no one game managed to crawl to the top.

  • DS Lite: 1.53m 1.07m (234%)
  • Wii: 981K 462K (89%)
  • Xbox 360: 770K 404K (110%)
  • PSP: 567K 281K (98%)
  • PS2: 496K 312K (169%)
  • PS3: 466K 345K (285%)

Oh, yeah. Everyone else did okay, too.
