Microsoft Reports Record Black Friday Sales
As Microsoft put it in the press release “Xbox 360 sold more than 960,000 consoles in the U.S. alone, of which more than 800,000 were sold within a period of 24 hours.” The total apparently broke records for most 360s sold in a single week, which isn’t surprising given the lower price point and some of the really good deals that were out there for the system.
MS mentioned selling 750,000 Kinects in the US as well, which we’d bet is significantly more than the Move bundles sold last week.
It's worth noting that Microsoft didn’t brag about any software sales numbers like Nintendo, even though its big November release of Halo Anniversary came out the week before. Perhaps it’s nothing, but the lack of any boatful sales data is interesting. Perhaps the remake hasn’t been the Halo-sized hit we expected?

Crazy day where people go to stores at like 3 a.m. (for example, sometimes earlier) to go shopping for good deals. Almost every store participates, and most things are over 50% off, 40% off, etc.
