I wouldn't be surprised if MS edged out a slight win for BF, but I'm not certain how reliable this infoscout is. Yes, they analyze 100s of ks of shopping receipts, but if you look at the actual fine print on some of their articles, only a fraction of those may actually be towards the items they're talking about. Their analysis of 2014's Black Friday results, for example, references 180k receipts, but only 2k of those actually purchased games or consoles. I'll quote the article: "InfoScout panelists submitted 180k+ receipts over the course of Black Friday. Of the 180k receipts submitted, 2k receipts included a games-related purchase." |
Good find. And welcome to the site.

That + the lack of a proper report for the first time (they got it out quite quickly in the years where X1 had a clear win) just reinforces my belief that PS4 did win. If X1 had won, the report would be out yesterday. |
Lol, someone should look into infoscouts background. Maybe they are like Polygon, where MS gave them $750K+. And we know MS asked for nothing in return.
