Nice to see the Wii U seeing noticeable increases YoY. Smash/ MK8/ 3D World bundled/ Amiibo will do that :)

Xbox One wins hands down, no surprise there. $329 with two games is just an unbelievable deal. PS4 does incredibly well with the GTA V/ LOUR bundle, no surprise there, either.

The one disappointment coming out of Black Friday to me is 3DS. Really surprised to see how large the decline is YoY, particularly with all of the aggressive pricing and bundling. Walmart had 3DS XL with NSMB2 for $149, many places had the Mario Party 3DS XL bundle for $175, not to mention the crystal red and blue 2DS's for $99. Nintendo's gotta be scratching their head on this one. There was every reason for 3DS to have an explosive holiday over here, particularly when you consider how well ORAS has been received by people.

Sony might win Bloodborne month. Only if they introduce a blood red limited edition console to make the fans buy another ps4. Just like they did with the Destiny bundle. 

Sony will win every month next year, and wont have to do much to do it. Don't worry, your shinking theroy will be gone come january, possibly december if amazon will get the bundles back in and stop selling out the hour they get them. But gamestop and best buy are picking up the slack there.

So both PS4 and Xbox One outsold every Nintendo system COMBINED. That is just insane. And software wise PS4 and Xbox One barely had any big exclusives while Nintendo pretty much has released every big IP they have.


WiiU is on life support and 3DS is majorly down in its 4th year^. NPD shows that ps4 has mostly been beating both combined many months. Is it really that insane? :0

Yeah Nintendo had ORAS which sold tremendously, but its not going to be a huge system seller especially with XY release last year. SSB though i guess could of pushed more WiiU's but imsure it by itself sold well :)

 

For PS4 it's nothing new no but Xbox One to and both in the same week worldwide is pretty crazy. Especially in one of the biggest weeks of the year.

And it includes the Wii, so that's three systems :-p. But to be honest Wii-U and 3DS sales met expectations, it's just that others sold so incredibly well, especially Xbox One.


Yeah why dont you add in GCN+N64+SNES+NES+Virtual Boy while your at it :P


Do we have the numbers? :-p. Seriously though amiibo is selling out right now, so with Sony and Microsoft battling each other with discounted deals Nintendo might have the last laugh financially.

Well $$$ wise Sony>MS. MS must be taking hits with dem deals this holiday^ Nintendo has ORAS+SSB+Amiibos so they should comfortably be #1 this holiday in profits :)

Though that wont help that WiiU usebase count

So close! It'll be exciting to see what happens next in the US with X1 and PS4. Do most of you feel X1 will take december too?

If Sony doesn't have some better deals and bundles, then yeah.

pfft 3ds did 1.8 million last year for black friday XD

VGC disagrees

3DS 868,411 (+100%) 36,713,033

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41609/Global/

someone lied to me :(

Some guys put some unbelievable numbers out there, gotta be carefull... 1M is massive, 1.2M was Wii record... 1.8M would be shenanigan

1.4m was wii's Black Friday week record and 1.7m ds's Black friday week record(the biggest ever) and 1.8m was wii's  highest selling week of the year record ,2m was the ds's(biggest ever) highest selling week record!The highest selling week of the year is the  third week of December. Wii and ds one time both in different years were selling more than they sold in the black friday week in all weeks of December!so ps4 will have a hard fight with wii in its third year,because in 2009 wii was selling from black friday week to the  end of the year more week on week and above 1m...!



So the guys who were expecting the X1 to lead the US by 150k were very close. So now its a waiting game with NPD.



That bf lead for microsoft in the us wasnt as big as i expected on the other hand sonys lead in europe is smaller that i expected as well cant wait for adjustments after the sony event tomorrow :)

Now that the world, or a lot of it at least, seems to have adopted black friday I think 1 million weeks will become a usual thing.

Amazing sales for PS4 and Xb one nonetheless.
