NPD has published the 2015 November sales data. The total industry spend is up 2% year-on-year. Hardware and accessories up, software down. New-gen hardware going gangbusters (22% raise, 93% sales in total for the month), but last-gen and portable dropping fast (76% fall). This might be possible due to not having a new Pokémon game out for the 3DS as was the case at the end of 2014.

The PS4, the Xbox One, and the PC put together over 3 million sales just in November, but Sony‘s and Microsoft‘s console grabbed 2.8 million. Surprisingly, the PlayStation 4 won November, despite the Xbox One‘s first-party game sales going up by 72%.

These were the best-selling games in the United States in November:

•     Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
•     Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
•     Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
•     Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3)
•     NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3)
•     FIFA 16 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3)
•     Need For Speed 2015 (PS4, Xbox One)
•     Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One)
•     Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
•     Just Dance 2016 (Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)

These games were the top selling PS4 titles on the PlayStation Store:

1     Call of Duty: Black Ops III

2     Fallout 4

3     Star Wars Battlefront

4     Need for Speed

5     The Order: 1886

6     Wolfenstein: The New Order

7     Rocket League

8     The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

9     Battlefield 4

10     Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

11     EA SPORTS FIFA 16

12     Grand Theft Auto V

13     Destiny

14     Sword Art Online: Lost Song

15     Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

16     Far Cry 4

17     Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

18     J-STARS Victory VS+

19     Ultra Street Fighter IV

20     Madden NFL 16

And these were the best selling PS4 DLCs:

1     Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Season Pass

2     Bloodborne The Old Hunters

3     The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited – ESO Plus

4     Fallout 4 Season Pass

5     Rocket League – Back to the Future Car Pack

6     STAR WARS Battlefront Season Pass

7     Destiny: The Taken King

8     Rocket League – Revenge of the Battle-Cars

9     The Crew – Wild Run

10     Rocket League – Supersonic Fury

This means that Call of Duty Black Ops III totally annihilated the competition, including Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront. We wonder what EA thinks about this result, it looks unlikely that Battlefront gets 13 million sales by April 2016!
