If during all the year PSN makes more profit than whole Nintendo why wouldn't PS4 normal sales plus the PSN sales be impossible to be over Nintendo?

Ok,i should'nt have used the word profit.I wanted to say that nintendo will sell more hardware in the black friday,because it has more products on the market.

Well, considering HW sales of Switch, 3DS and Snesmini I have zero doubt that US and even WW Nintendo shall be over PS4 or Xbox. On revenue I would say it's hard to guess (3DS and SnesMini is less expensive) and the SW sales will be higher for PS4 because it have bigger userbase and higher attach ratio. Profit is anyone guess as well.

There is no black Friday outside of the US, so productions for Japan, Europe and world are useless. That being said ps4 will sell most on black Friday. I don't see the switch being discounted as much or even have enough stock.



Think for yourself, question authority

Have you been hybernating on the last couple years? Europe and Brazil (probably other regions) had BlackFriday.

US - Switch
Europe - PS4
Japan - Switch
Worldwide - virtual tie between the aforementioned (less than 100k difference between the two consoles)

Being BF and if we talk only USA, I don't think MS will do fine.

The issue is that people assume MS will do perfectly fine in its largest market, but that's disregarding the competition. The Switch is red hot in a mobile-heavy market, and the PS4 has insane deals and the benefit of the price tag and library.

 

Every company will obviously see an increase in sales, but personally I don't see anything significantly positive for Microsoft

Only talking about NA/USA because thats where black friday is, yes other countries may have token 'black fridays' but they're like similar sales they have during the year, eg boxing day,new years etc.
2016 data from the UK, which is one of the countries where black friday sales have taken off outside of the USA
Black Friday 2016 UK 1.27 billion pounds
Boxing Day 2016 UK 3.85 billion pounds

OK with that settled, heres what I think. MS are going to have a huge push because they want the positive PR, though it will be close with the PS4, I can nearly guarantee the switch will be bringing up the rear

1. Xbox
2. PS4
3. Switch
