November is here. Turkey Day may be important for families, but for video games Black Friday is going to be just as important for sales. We're also seeing the launch of the PS4 Pro, the first major mid-gen spec upgrade to an existing home console platform in over 20 years. There's also going to be several major software titles, including Pokemon Sun & Moon, Final Fantasy XV, Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, and of course a new Call of Duty game. Definitely going to be a big month.
Note: Monthly & weekly rankings are on a 3-day one-day delay from the current calendar date. They are usually updated daily on Amazon between 4 to 5 PM sometime in the morning Eastern time. Also, NPD's months are not perfectly matched to Amazon's months. Some items in these rankings may be marked with a typographical symbol:
*Indicates item available for pre-order for release in a later month. Does not count towards current month's sales.
†Indicates used/pre-owned hardware. Does not count towards current month's sales.
