Their successors released.

Look at the PS360 > PS4One transition, they sold more than their successors on Black Friday week (globally PS4 beat the PS3, but it was the European launch week)
Looks like in USA black friday week for PS3 & 360 fell by ~40% from 2012-2013... wheras PS4 & XB1 fell by ~90-95%

There must be additional reasons PS4 & XB1 are so low, the release of successors doesn't explain that huge a drop alone.

Sony has not been shipping many PS4s at all this year. The console did not receive a price cut. Latest MSRP is still $299 for Slim and $399 for Pro. They did not do any Black Friday or holiday promotions at all this year either. Last year you could by a PS4 Slim with 3 bundled games for $199 (I stood in line with my brother to buy one). If you check Amazon in the US right now the PS4s have no price listed and are selling for $400+.

The Xbox One has its own issues.
