(USA) Nov. Tops 3.2M Hardware Units: over 500k Xbox 360s
>> Next-gen.biz published the November numbers from Arcadia Investment, another analyst company. Their November expectations for the Xbox 360 are a bit lower than Wedbush Morgan's 750k:

In its monthly report analyst Arcadia Investment says console sales in November topped 3.2 million units. Next-Gen has exclusive details of the report's highlights including platform break-downs.
Xbox 360 unit sales topped a minimum of 500K units in the month, probably more, with 200K in Black Friday week. Retailers attributed the increase to strong sales of Gears of War and "chronic press coverage" of supply constraints on PS3. Microsoft is now on track to sell through about 4.25 million units in the US in calendar 2006 with an installed base of around 5 million units.
Available quantity of PS3 was probably less than 150K units at launch, with a further 50K creeping into the channel in November. Some retailers reporting less than 0.5 software units per hardware unit. Arcadia says a 600K total sell through for the year is reasonable.
It says Wii sold about 500K in unit sales in November with a tie ratio of about two per console. The report says that Nintendo remains on track to deliver about 1.3 million units to retail shelves by year end in the US.
PS2 sales topped 500K units, driven by the $129 price point and Guitar Hero II. PS2 is on track to hit about 4.7 million units in CY 06, which would bring the US total to about 36.5 million by year end. At this point it's not clear if Xbox 360 beat PS2 for the month.
