Xbox One outsells PlayStation 4 during Black Friday
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?

I dont get the fanboys on this site anymore. When the PS4 outsells the Xbone it's "because it's cheaper". When the Xbone (320 USD) outsells the PS4 (400 USD), PS4 people are shot down for saying "it's because the xbone was cheaper".
The cheaper console will easily move and sell more units than it's competitor. PS4 did bundles with games this year without slashing prices while Xbones took a huge hit and probably lost money on the products they selling due to the sheer amount they were moving, and all of this loss just for some bragging rights about winning sales during black friday.

InqevenArbok The One deserves to outsell IMO.
Why is that? The only reason the One sold more was because of the cheaper price. Most people go for the cheaper price. I used to fanboy Xbox hardcore but after really looking into it and seeing the pros and cons of each console. The ps4, in my opinion, is way better than the One. Although, the One has a really good looking interface.
How is PS4 "way" better than xbox one?
It's technically more powerful than the Xbox One and has an easier time running games at 1080p. I'm an Xbox One owner by the way, I personally prefer Xbone over PS4 due to other reasons.

SirSailorUTD Xbox one may of outsold the playstation 4 but how many of them xbox ones are going to go back due to faults and problems that's the main thing ;)
Probably none, of course the odd few with factory mistakes but, theres no major errors which work the same way as the red ring or the bar thing for play station.
Ya I have no clue what UTD is talking about with faults and problems. Probably just a butthurt PS4 fanboy

Unfortunately myself, I purchased an Xbox One a few days before Black Friday because I had a feeling they'd be sold out everywhere.
But these stats are simply amazing. I remember when both consoles first came out, everyone was on the Sony bandwagon. Good job Microsoft, good job. You guys knew what you were doing and I knew it.
