Xbox One outsells PlayStation 4 during Black Friday

4.7
With Black Friday in the past and many of us owning our new hardly fought gaming consoles with bruises to show for it. But, the question of what console won the day arises. A study by InfoScout has the answer.

Microsoft had a significant edge on Sony this year dominating more than half of the console sales alone. Even Microsoft's previous generation Xbox 360 out sold Nintendo's newest console the Wii U.

How about what parents bought for their kids? Well 92 percent that purchased the Wii U say they purchased the console for their child, of the buyers of the Xbox One 66 percent purchased the console for their kid. PlayStation 4 buyers mostly bought it for themselves with only 45 percent buying the console as a gift.

Last year Sony was also beaten by Microsoft for Black Friday console sales with the Xbox One and 360 clutching 61 percent of the console market, while the Playstation 4 and 3 held a small in comparison 30 percent.

Sony has had it's fair share of being beaten on Black Friday as the last two years have showed. But, what did you guys pick up while battling out there?

It really isn't surprising with the deals and price cuts they had for the Xbox One, allowing yo to get the console and a free game of your choice for $320. Its a crazy cheep deal. I haven't really seen PS4 have any real sales, it seems they have been staying at that $399 price point for the most part.

Don't think this data overshadows the fact that PS4 has had greater overall success

This comes as a huge surprise tbh as I believe PS4 did a better job this time.

I believe ps4 is still winning in all out sales though. Which is somewhat a shame.

Pryzel Good, it's a great console and now the community is getting bigger which is a great thing. Also there were some nice deals on black Friday seen some x1's go for quite cheap.


Yeah hopefully the Christmas sales are even better so the community grows much more.
