November NPD - MS says it was the "best November ever" for 360

Microsoft seemed rather pleased with the NPD figures for November, citing the move of 819.5K units and calling it the "best-ever November in Xbox 360 history", repeatedly.

The Seattle giant was also pleased with Modern Warfare 2 selling 4.2 million units on the console beating out the PS3 version by more than two-to-one.

It also brought up the fact that more than 5.2 million multiplayer hours on XBL were logged playing Modern Warfare 2 on the first day alone - which scrambles our brain to be honest.

Xbox 360 also led games sales in November, with four of the top ten console games with third party titles selling "more on Xbox 360 last month than on the other current generation platforms combined."

Assassin’s Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, and Dragon Age: Origins rounded out 360 versions on the NPD top ten and it was the company’s "best-ever November for game sales, reaching $514 million in total sales".

Consumers also spent a whopping $838 million on 360 hardware, software and accessories, adding to the stellar month for Microsoft.
