X1 beats PS4 on Black Friday

Microsoft's new Xbox One console scooped up 31 per cent of all console sales at US big box stores Walmart and Target on Black Friday, according to figures published this weekend.The Xbox One was the top dog, closely followed by its forebear the Xbox 360 which netted 30 per cent of sales thanks to some mega doorbuster deals on the traditional American shopping holiday.The Sony PS3 earned the bronze medal with 15 per cent of sales, according to InfoScout, while the new Sony PS4 also took a 15 per cent slice of the pumpkin pie.While, on the face of things, this looks like a big loss for Sony who's console is cheaper than Microsoft's, it's difficult to read too much into the figures.Can't buy it if you can't find itFirstly, Sony's console has been hampered by a lack of availability since its launch in the US on November 15. The company shifted over 1 million units in the first 24 hours, but since then the next-gen devices has been pretty hard to come by.Secondly, as the device has been on sale a week longer than Microsoft's stateside, it's possible that the equivalent early adopters buying an Xbox One on Black Friday may have already picked up their PS4.While the Sony PS4 vs Xbox One war won't be decided by occasions such as Black Friday, it's difficult not to worry for Nintendo's Wii U, now in its second year on sale.InfoScout's data showed the Wii U picking up 6 per cent of sales, amid very few decent Black Friday deals. The 6-year old Wii, on the other hand, nabbed 5 per cent. http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/xbox-one-was-the-big-winner-on-black-friday-but-does-it-really-mean-anything--1203923

So, I should believe a super moo-cow named Tormentos over a legitimate survey.

Holy Hell, you are right! The PS4 has sold 250 billion more than XBoxOne! Everyone, close the books, the next gen war is over because Tormentos said so!

Whatever, man.

You do know the PS4 launched in EU this past weaken right.? You also know that EU is more than UK right.?

I know how severely limited you lemmings are on this topic,since for you the world consist of US and UK apparently the only 2 places where the xbox one did good,but let me remind you.

The xbox 360 won in UK but completely loss on EU,thats because mainland EU is way bigger market than UK,so the PS3 was able to beat the 360 quite easy.

The 250k units reported are just 1 place UK.

Australia
Austria
Belgium
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
Italy
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland

All this ^^ still unaccounted,so yeah the PS4 should be close to 2 million units now if not there already,spare me your usual crying,last time you did that with hardware talk,you ended up owned not only the xbox one had to give resolution also frames as well like i always say.
