UK:PS4 beat all previous PS4 Black Friday weeks except for Black Friday 2013

Black Friday week sees various software titles affected by huge promotions, most of which are hardware driven. Entertainment Software unit sales climb +89% over last week and +53% by revenue and this is the biggest week of the year so far for both units and revenue. On console hardware and looking specifically at combined sales units of PS4 and Xbox One hardware, this Black Friday week was more successful than last year, up around 3% compared to week 47, 2016. Standout success on PS4 hardware specifically which beat all previous PS4 Black Friday weeks except for Black Friday 2013 (week 48) which was also PS4 launch week. Official Hard Bundles for PS4 and Xbox One reached a new high this year, accounting for over 83% of all PS4/Xbox One hardware units sold this week.

They also had huge PSVR sales as well....

PSVR headset sales are huge this week, on a par with launch week (wk41/2016) and this week is the equivalent of the past 18 weeks of PSVR sell-through. A couple of Sony first party PS4 new releases make the Top 40, with ‘Knowledge is Power’ debuting at No14 and ‘Hidden Agenda’ debuting at No15.

yea im pretty sure plasyation will win the holidays in the UK. maybe all of europe actually.

that statement right there shows how bad PSVR was selling.

Yup, shame the Switch won't reach the sales levels of PS4.

Playstation is the king of consoles.

dont matter...ps4 will never reach the wii or even the ps3 lmao.

the king indeed.

Don't do drugs.

we'll see

saw some sub 200€ for slim and 280€ for pro deals around, no wonder they sold like hotcakes

That is called selective reading. ;) Fanboys are great at it. haha!

Xbox One is falling down, falling down, falling down.....

PS3 is at 84(?) mil. PS4 will break that with ease and it will break Wii's sales too.

Mark my words sheep.

There where some serious sales for PS4 and Xbox One S. The PS4 ones where probably better.

I was tempted

that insecurity

PS4 bundles at £200 and in some cases sub £200 last week so no shock there really, with the primary benefit of an XBOX over a PS4 being the increased horsepower offered by the X the older xbox models do not compare well, so no shock that PS4 did better out of discounting than the xbox.

It isn't.

TLHBO

My sis-in-law tried to get one late on Black Friday for my nephew, she said PS4's were sold out within 100 miles of us here.

Between the Switch's hot streak and PS4 going HAM with price drops, there's no place for XBox to go.

That damage control

I can't find an XboneX anywhere! Microsoft is kicking butt and taking names!

It beat 2014, 2015 and 2016. Is counting to three really that difficult?

The PS4 is around 68 million and came out 4 years ago, the PS3 is around 84 million and came out 10 years ago, are you sure about that statement?

It will probably even beat the Wii, but that's still some time away. It would be interesting if it could beat the best selling console of all time, the PS2, but that's doubtful. Sony is king though.
