NPD numbers are out for accessories in November, and big surprise -- Wii wins. Is there anything we're not winning these days? More than half of all console buyers picked up an extra controller; full sales numbers for the Wii weigh in at 476,000 for last month, and 270,000 Wiimotes were sold. Only 153,000 nunchuks sold, however. Looks like Wii Sports is multiplayer king for now (but what about the boxing?)Rolling in at second is the Xbox 360 controller, with 251,000, and the PS3's vaunted Sixaxis controller slides in near the bottom with only 98,000 controllers moving off the shelves. More people bought PS2 controllers than PS3.
It's interesting to note that we don't even have the Wii Play/Wiimote bundle here in the States yet, and even so, Wiimotes are selling like crazy. Of course, extra controllers are necessary for some of the console's best moments, but it'll be interesting to see how many controllers sell when there's the bonus of a game for only a few dollars more.
