Last November had the Cyber monday included, this year it won't. Because of that, general November sales should be weaker than last year, including PS4 sales.

I can see over 1 million but should be well under last year 1.48 million

Right, that's a topic that has already come up in various threads. The timing of Black Friday is different this year.

For NPD it means a worse November period and a better December period. Something to keep in mind for year over year comparisons, so no jumping the gun when November NPD results somehow get leaked. Better to wait until both November and December are in and make comparisons with both months combined.

Aside, but how useless is the NPD that they keep numbers behind their super secret paywall but you can't get figures for each month. Just this wonky time period that covers most of the month. How useful is the November information is it excludes the biggest sales holiday in the month of November. Any company around can tell you exactly how much money they made each month, each quarter, ect. 

NPD is suppose to getting information more directly if they are charging people so much. Why can't the "cut-Off" be Nov 1st to Nov 30th like everyone else (and yes, this includes banks and other companies). NPD isn't worth what they are charging.
