"The five top selling electronic products on Black Friday were Apple iPads, Samsung 4k TVs, Apple MacBook Air, LG TVs and Microsoft Xbox."

So it looks like Adobe has Xbox winning BF sales.

however:

"For the entire season so far (Nov. 1 – 24), PlayStation 4 is the best-selling video game console, followed by Microsoft Xbox One."

So it looks like PS4 sales won overall sales for november.

Thoughts?

Personally I was expecting PS4 to pull out a win even on BF.

Keep in mind this is just one source, so might say something else. Also isn't this only online sales? http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-outperforms-ps4-for-black-friday-online-s/1100-6445799/

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Yes US only, BF & Nov sales.

Yes I believe so, this online data from orders placed.

It also needs to be mentioned that last year Adobe also had the XB1 winning, online sales wise, however the PS4 actually sold more BF than XB1.

Basically Adobe was wrong last year.

As I said, I have no idea which system took BF or November, and I have little faith in trackers like Infoscout or Adobe, but Adobe did a follow up article detailing sales through Cyber Monday.

Quoting that article from the Amazon thread:

Most popular products of the season: For the entire season so far (November 1-28), PlayStation 4 is the best-selling video game console, Pokémon Sun & Moon leads in video game sales, Samsung 4K TV leads in television sales, and iPad Air 2 leads in tablet sales.

Let's not overreact folks. Lets all wait for official PRs or numbers from our usual sources.
Seems both Xbox and ps4 did well.

Praise the One.

Wow! Huge shocker for XONE to win BF!

But no surprise for PS4 to take November!

Yeah its not the final say... its just the online factor.

Im sure retail sales (shops) sell alot more BF than online does.

Still its better than nothing.

Factoring in that Adobe was wrong last year, your probably right to mention we should wait for official PR before calling it.

Online sales only, and includes Xbox 360. So that XBO won Black Friday isn't a definitive.

How can someone label one console winning BF when they're only looking at online numbers? Online numbers probably made up around 5-10 percent of sales if that.
Even than Adobe isn't always right....they said the same thing last year...and PS was winning all the major online sites
