The Xbox 360 is the best-selling home console for the sixth consecutive month thanks to the successful launch of the Kinect, but the Wii isn’t far behind.
Microsoft revealed today that 1.37 million Xbox 360s were sold over the course of November. These numbers continue a strong a year for Microsoft, which has seen the Xbox 360’s year-to-date sales growth 42 percent, and the NPD Group noted in its report that the Kinect is the top-selling accessory “in terms of dollar sales on a year-to-date basis.”
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Wii has recovered somewhat from sluggish sales to sell 1.27 million units, according to Bloomberg. The Wii sold 254,000 units in September in what analyst Michael Pachter blamed on “gamer fatique and a lack of high-profile releases.”
