Sorry, but no, Black Friday is going to always greatly outdo every week in Nov.  And Thurs night-Friday is going to greatly outdo any day that week.  For example, in 2012 the PS3 sold ~710K in Nov.  On BF week, 525K.  That's ~74% for one week, and most likely ~65%-70% for the 1-1 1/2 days.  So, sorry, their methodology is poor.

last ps4 sold 1 million in a day in NA, so about 900k in usa in a day, but only sold 1.2k in the other 15 days including black friday, so about 100k on black friday. Do you see my point, black friday sale is nothing without context!

Context??? You forgot that last year was the PS4's launch year. It didn't sell well during Black Friday because it was severely supply constrained. Had Sony been able to ship more PS4s to the US, the PS4 would have sold a lot more. thismeintiel is right, your methodology is indeed very poor...
