Sales tracker Info Scout is reporting that 17% of consoles sold on Black Friday were Wii U systems. We already know that the Splatoon and Super Smash Bros Wii U bundle was a hit at a number of retailers including Target. As you might expect, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One performed better during Black Friday with Info Scout reporting that 42% share was on PlayStation 4 and 41% share was Xbox One.
Due to popular demand, we’ve augmented the post to include a breakdown by major gaming console.
At Target and Walmart, the Xbox One + Gears of War bundle barely outsold its rival PS4 + Uncharted Bundle. Yet, strong PS4 sales at Amazon.com and other retailers were enough to edge out the Xbox One for top sales this Black Friday season.
