Just trying to verify this (NPD USA sales only), I have 

XBox One (Nov. 14) - 1.2 million

Wii (Nov. 07) - 981k 

PS2 - (Nov. 01) - 920k

PS4 - (Nov. 14) 840k approx. 

XBox 360 - (Nov. 06) 511k 

XBox - (Nov. 02) 470k 

GameCube - (Nov. 02) 440k 

Wii U - (Nov. 13) 220k 

Most of the numbers I got from here:

Is there any site that has N64/PSOne/Dreamcast sales or even SNES/Genesis? 

The industry is dying my ass.

Imagine what kind of sales could be reached, or what kind of records could be set if one competitor (maybe somebody new?) could nail everything flawlessly from prelaunch to the end of a gen.

That thread has the X360 at over 2m in Nov 2008...surely that's not right

In America, the largest second month in America, ok?

And they had to cut the price of their console very early on to achieve this.

Worldwide the Xbox One still lost to the PS4 by over 400k, in spite of price cut and big releases/bundles.

in the history of what second novembers

Interesting. I think the highest November ever was the Wii in 2008 or 09, and then the 360 in 2011.

Not as much as Sony dropped the PS3 and that didnt do the same thing.

In the USA. and here, they are giving away like 2 new release games, advertising down our throats, and dropped the price ridiculously low. and the still BARELY beat the PS4 in the USA. World Wide is the One lost by a very large margin and it will go back to that in the USA come January once parents stop buying the X One because it's the cheapest next gen option. (excluding Wii U).

Hmmm didnt Sony give away GTAV/TLOUR or Batman/LBP3 BF weekend.  

Barely beat PS4? 400k is the largest NPD gap yet between the two. It seems you're seriously downplaying.
