According to the analytics firm NPD Group, Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console has outsold Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s Playstation 3 for the sixth consecutive month. Microsoft ended up moving roughly 1.37 million consoles during November, representing a 68% increase from the same period last year. Just a few weeks ago the company announced that it had sold over 2.5 million Kinect motion-controllers since its November 4th launch.

“The 360 platform accounted for over 40 percent of total industry sales driven by the successful launch of Microsoft’s Kinect,” wrote Anita Frazier, an NPD Group analyst. “Xbox 360 accessories accounted for 60 percent of that category’s dollar sales this month.” The gaming industry saw $2.76 billion in sales this past November, up 2% year-over-year.
