Black Friday is a western thing so I imagine for this week they put higher priority on other regions. 

It's not unusual for Japan sales to drop Black Friday week, last year Japan sold less on BF than the week before just like this year.

It's even mostly an american thing (cause you know, other countries don't celebrate thanksgiving), it starts to become a thing in other countries to justify sales period. 

I live in Europe and I received several adds saying "black friday week" yeah no

Yeah you're right it's mostly American, Europe is catching up though, unlike Japan that basically doesn't get any BF boost at all.

Europe, Week before BF (2019) - 0.38m Consoles Sold
Europe, BF Week (2019) - 1.1m Console Sold

USA, Week before BF (2019) - 0.4m Consoles Sold
USA, BF Week (2019) - 2.44m Consoles Sold

Japan, Week before BF (2019) - 168k Consoles Sold
Japan, BF Week (2019) - 178k Consoles sold

So yeah, Japan sales were boosted by 6%, Europe sales boosted by 193% and USA sales boosted by 515% lol.
