NPD Reports November Console Sales

Posted by Zonk on

CBackSlash writes "Joystiq has a summary of the NPD console sales numbers for November 2006. The big headline is that the industry overall was up 34 percent to $1.7 billion. But the smaller headlines are probably more interesting for us: PS3 only shipped 197k, while the XBox 360 had 511k, and the Wii had a very respectable 476k. However, all of the new consoles were outsold by the lowly PS2 (664k) and DS Lite(641k)." These are a more detailed set of numbers than those we discussed on Wednesday.

    (2,000,000 - 200,000) * (-$100.00) ==> $180,000,000


    Assuming that Sony is losing $100 per console, it looks like they managed to not lose over 180 million dollars. Not a terrible screw-up, really. Those parts are getting cheaper to manufacture every day.
