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?

Yeah the WII U is so under rated, No one really appreciates it that well.

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.

If they would have never dropped the price of the console, it wouldn't have.

Smart choice by them.

-Myth_ Even though it is worse in term of specs, the family friendly aspect outshines the PS4 and I think thats why it sold more :p


For sure! i completely agree!
Although the Ps4 is a great console, its the family side of the xbox that wins it.

Well xbox one has dropped in price so i guess thats why.

Ruff Honestly does surprise me. I thought PS4 would take over.


Xbox will always be on top because of the updates.The thing about the one that really beats the PS4 is the fact that it is an ever changing console with notable changes to it.You can compare the PS4 now to how it was on launch day and you'll only see small differences where as the xbox one theres huge important differences to it.Honestly it was only a matter of time,many predicted the Xbox One would start slow but gradually beat the PS4 and its only taken a years time.

Knew this would happen since the Xbox One has dropped in price.
