The Xbox One accounted for more than half of all console purchases on Black Friday, perhaps the biggest shopping day of the year in the US.
53% of console purchases at retailers during Black Friday sales were Xbox One units, according to analyst firm Infoscout.
The PS4 had a pretty good weekend though, capturing 31% of the console purchase market – although when combined, Xbox 360 and Xbox One account for literally double that amount, with 62% of all consoles purchased. The PS3 managed a measly 1%, coming in behind the Wii U at 6%.
According to surveys taken at point of sale, 66% of all console purchases were made by adults for children. Console by console, the Wii U was the most popular purchase as gifts for youngsters at 92%, and the PS4 was most popular with adults, with more than half saying they were picking up the console for themselves.
