Fallout 4 marks best release in franchise history

"More comparable to Skyrim," NPD Group says

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 may have been the best-selling title for November 2015, but publisher/developer Bethesda has plenty reason to celebrate. According to NPD Group's sales data for the month, Fallout 4 set a new franchise sales record.

"Fallout 4 performed extremely well. Adjusting for days within the data month, this was the best Fallout launch in the history of the franchise," NPD Group's Liam Callahan revealed, noting the game sold over 70 percent more units than Fallout: New Vegas and 9 percnet more units than Fallout 3.

"In fact, Fallout 4's launch is more comparable to Bethesda Softworks' other successful launch of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," he added.

Fallout 4 debuted in the number two spot for November's sales. Check out the full list below.
