If this is prediction it would be mentioned that it's prediction, Adobe tracks some of the largest online retailers and bases its figures off that.

Then that makes it a well informed prediction but a prediction none the less.

The linked article is the prediction, just like Famitsu, Media Create, or even VGChartz. I believe they routinely do actuals as well, so it's safe to say that the Switch won  amongst the ~4500 top retailers Adobe tracks.

Same company that said Xbox won BF in 2015 when PS4 turned out to be king that year FYI. Let's wait on PR from NPD or one of the big three

According to Adobe, on the day before Thanksgiving, when the PS4 was already $199 and #1 on Amazon, PSVR was the only Sony product to crack the top 5...

Seems legit.

He's referring to this, but they may have edited the title: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151127005410/en/Adobe-Data-Shows-Top-Sellers-Black-Friday

If you look at this thread, it appears the name was edited later: http://67.227.255.239/forum/showthread.php?t=1147169&page=4

The report model is based on analysis of 1 trillion visits to over 4,500 retail websites and 55 million SKUs

Companion research is based on surveys with 1,100+ U.S. consumers and 440+ U.S. retailers that sell online and 12 million social mentions from August 1st–October 11th 2017.

You seem to have forgotten a very important word. Can you guess which one?

Ha. Yeah. Thread title seems a tad presumptuous going by what's on offer in terms of actual info. No facts, mere predictions, based off of online sales only, and even then, only 80% of them.

It's a good indicator but it's not fact. You can't rely on this solely to give you the full picture.

Nobady said its a fact, thats Adobe sale report based on their measures and analysis sales during Black Friday, like they wrote:

What percentage of BF sales were online this year? I thought a site said that it was 33%+, but I can't relocate it.

With regards to the winner, nothing will surprise me: too many consoles were sold from each one of the big 3.
