Forums - Sales - November 2025 Circana (NPD) Thread + Predictions

November 2025 Circana (NPD) covers the four-week period from November 2 to 29 and will be released on December 17.

Since Circana (NPD) leaks don't happen nearly as often as it used to and hardware revenue is something we do get, be sure to include revenue in your predictions.

Feel free to also predict what you think the top software games will be for the month.

Example prediction:

[Total Hardware Revenue]

  1. [#1 selling console] XXX,000
  2. [#2 selling console] XXX,000

Around the Network

[REV] 930M

1. [PS5] 930K
2. [NS2] 740K
3. [XBS] 140K
4. [NSW] 85K



Can't really put into words why, but the USA market for me personally has become tough to predict. It's also been a very strange back and forth between USA and Europe looking at PS5.

Nevertheless:

• PS5 - 1405K
• Switch 2 - 1360K
• Switch - 356K
• X|S - 226K (298K)

1. PS5 - 1.45 million
2. NS2 - 1.44 million
3. XBS - 120k

My prediciton is that PS5 and NS2 are narly tied. It could go either way but given the huge Black Friday sale that started a whole week earlier, I am going to give it to the PS5.
And somehow, I still think that the PS5 is gonna sell more dureing next November and the GTA 6 release.

I don't have a Switch 1 prediction but I assume it will be above the XBS by quite a lot.  

As far as the delay... following the trends of the past, we should be good on the next November.   I think both Switch 2 and PS5 will have massive months.  I actually believe that Next November will be a record month around  the industry.   It may not be a huge boost for Xbox but it will be enough of a boost to stave off any further YoY declines.
