I don't know if it's real or not but if it is, then it look like X1 won black friday?

I saw that, unsure of their methodology as it seems they don't count online sales in their data (given the lack of Amazon), the 53% to 31% just seems awfully far apart to include online.  But, who knows, maybe Microsoft knocked this one out of the park.

Their methodology seems very flawed.  For proof, just look at their findings for 2013.  The PS4 was greatly held back because of lack of shipments.  In fact, given the PR that it sold 1M the week before, we know it only sold ~100K on BF.  According to them, the PS3 only sold ~100K that week, too.  The PS3 sold ~420K for the whole of Nov.  Are we really going to believe that the PS3 only sold 1/4th of its Nov sales on Black Friday week?  Highly doubt it.  Most likely it sold 1/2 of its sales that week.

you know black friday is one day, right, so it sold 1/4 of those numbers on one day. That seems reasonable. 320/4weeks is 80k. 80k+100k=180k. That makes sense.
