The November NPD numbers have been revealed, and it should be no surprise that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has led the way.
The game raked in $1 billion in 15 days, setting a new record for the series. Meanwhile, Halo 4 came in second, with Assassin's Creed 3 rounding out the top three.
Overall, software sales were down 11 percent from last year, earning $1.46 billion compared to $1.65 billion last year. The industry was also down 11 percent from last year, making $2.55 billion overall.
It should be noted that Cyber Monday sales were not included, as sales numbers ended Nov. 24.
Hardware sales dropped 13 percent, even with the Wii U selling 425,000 units in seven days. Microsoft, meanwhile, sold 1.26 million Xbox 360s, while Nintendo sold 420,000 Wiis and 540,000 3DS systems.
