November 2013 NPD: Xbox One, PS4 push game industry to $2.74B month

The game industry generated $2.74 billion in revenue at physical retailers in November.

With the release of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, everyone was expecting a big month for game hardware, the question was if slow software sales would drag down the entire month. Gamer demand for the new consoles, however, was more than enough to make up for a dip in the software numbers.
