best black friday ever or playstation consoles.

Doesn't mean much. Last year was their best black Friday also and the PS4 sold 1.1m that month.

The thing is that news also came out in tandem with the PS4 having its best BF in the UK except for BF 2013.

PR fluff is proof of what, exactly? So Sony sold well 1 day in an entire month? With a massive price drop to boot.

ps4 was selling well before the price drop

If you say so. You so obviously know more than all of the analysts. Must be great to own a crystal ball. Don't give up the day job btw.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Its a good sign that PS4 had a huge black Friday but that doesn't mean that Xbox or Nintendo can't still win the overall month so peachbuggy doesn't have to eat any crow yet.

So the PS2 never sold more on BF? That's crazy.

He claims Ps4 will beat the Switch by 600k, so just winning isn't enough.

The UK is the most similar market to the US and according to Bruno's numbers, it's possible that the PS4 outsold the XB1 at almost a 2 to 1 ratio.

I can't imagine such a pronounced disparity in the US, but Sony did burn through what it appears to be a hefty allotment in relatively short order.

U.K. Black Friday 2016 and 2017 almost identical for Xbox/PS4 ratios.

in 2016 November npd PS4 beat Xbox by 100k despite the pro launch and that same great U.K. Black Friday ratio. So I don't think PS4 having a better Black Friday than Xbox in the U.K. Is directly related to PS4 winning npd. If we are going to correlate the day between both countries than we should also correlate the X's launch. Xbox sold 120k consoles that week, PS4 and switch did like 65k combined. In fact Xbox one x launch week was xb1's biggest week ever in the U.K. Since it's launch in 2013. Does that also translate to the US?

 

Also should  take into account the 2 insidersand npd analyst all have the month as a toss-up. The npd analyst said x should blow past 600k in US This year. That tells me he expects at least 400k X's sold in November npd, possibly 500k or more. 



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

I've said a few times I expect PS4 to win November npd but that Sony pr has me second guessing myself. Sounds like fluff a company puts out when they expect to have bad news come out. Not that loosing npd is a big deal anyway.
