Adobe Data Shows Top Sellers on Black Friday

It looks like the deep discounts on the Xbox One for Black Friday have helped it make a big splash during the year's biggest shopping day, as expected. The console was among the top five best selling electronic products during Black Friday, according to Adobe's annual sales report.

The five best selling electronic products on Black Friday were Samsung 4K TVs, Apple iPad Air 2, Microsoft Xbox One, Apple iPad Mini and Sony PS4.

Congrats to MS and Xbox One.

[NewMonday]

PS4 on the same list

[Kalebninja]

Finally, I hope with the huge amount of people that bought 4k TVs more 4k content will be available. I bought mine a little too early I think.

This articles are talking about XB1.

@Saranya
"This articles are talking about XB1."

the headline is about the xbox one but the article talks about other products too. however the person you are likely referring to would never want the xbox one to be given more attention. sadly some take competition among the consoles way too extreme.

[Eonjay]

LOL... everyone chill. The article is from a Windows site. And its not the source story.

[HaydenJameSmith]

It's great that consoles are selling so well. Means a healthier industry...

[HaydenJameSmith]

@Dynasty
What the hell are you talking about...

I didn't say anything about PC, your talking about hardware from AMD and Nvidia like it has anything to do with my comment. Consoles don't change their hardware...

Amazon and Best Buy provide great deals for console games. Xbox live and psn have no competition on the digital front and it costs them nothing to provide digital games... so they can't under cut retailers who sell their hardware and costs them money stocking xbox one and ps4 games.

PC gaming doesn't have that problem cause most people buy digitally where there is tons of competition on that platform.

Competition between Xbox One and PS4 is providing great deals on the hardware and bundles. Open your eyes and you'd see...

PC is a great platform with tons of great deals and games. I didn't say it didn't and it's another big contributor to the industry.

If your so happy with your pc why don't you go play on it instead of accusing me of stating things I didn't say or even imply.

[Why o why]

Pc guys just need to be acknowledged

I can't see anywhere where pcs were downplayed yet stating the console industry is doing well sparks paragraphs of whatever that is.. . I just don't get some pc guys... they moan about console guys bickering yet they're all up in it trying to show relevance. No offence but ferrari guys dont argue with m3 guys.

@AngelicleDiamond

Congrats MS AND Sony.*

There, I fixed it for you.

[Rookie_Monster]

From the origianal Adobe link on this Windows central article where they got the information from, here are the top selling items on Black Friday:

http://www.businesswire.com...
Top Products and Inventory: Top sellers included Samsung 4K TVs, Apple iPad Air 2, Microsoft Xbox One, Lego Dimensions, Barbie Dream House and Lego Creative Box.

Gongrat MS and XB1 for representing gaming on that list. You guys did great!

[TripleCs]

That part of the article that you quoted was for Thanksgiving Day, not Black Friday like you claim. The PS4 and Xbox One both made the top 5 best selling electronics list on Black Friday.

http://www.adobe.com/news-r...

Edit:

I like how I'm getting a bunch of disagrees for pointing out facts and congratulating both companies instead of acting like 1 console was in the top 5 best selling electronics list while ignoring the other console that was in the top 5 best selling electronics list. Seriously, does it bother people that much that the PS4 was also among the top 5 best selling electronics on Black Friday?

[Rookie_Monster]

^^^
My bad. IT was thanksgiving day and not Black Friday. Thanks for the correction. So Xbox One was a top seller ON BOTH Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. More impressive. I was just giving N4G readers more insight of the article and what the XB1 did overall, that is all. Don't know why you guys get upset about it.

Also, don't be so quick to point fingures, I never mention anything regarding PS4 because the title of this article is "Xbox One among top selling electronics during Black Friday". I am just sticking with topic. Because I didn't congrat PS4, I am suddenly a hater? :/

[TripleCs]

I also never called you a hater but good job putting words in my mouth. gangsta_red might have some good competition on his hands with you lol

What makes you think I was upset? All I did was simply correct you. Correcting you now means I'm upset? Okay buddy, I guess every teacher on the planet is always upset as well since they constantly have to correct their students. Whatever helps you sleep at night.. lol

[Fro_xoxo]

has too be, there's too much quality being offered..

[Kurisu]

Bought an Xbox One myself yesterday. It's the first time I've bought a Microsoft console, and the first time that I've owned all three consoles in a generation!

[MannGamer]

Good for you. Enjoy your three consoles and don't let N4G get you into that console war where each side have some "you would not believe type of fanboys".

[Automatic79]

Congratulations might I suggest RYSE, DeadRising 3, Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, Halo MCC, Halo 5, Forza 4,5, and Forza Horizon, RareReplay and TombRaider all great games. There a ton more but you get the picture.

[johndoe11211]

And seeing that the ps4 is also on that list I will assume your statement holds true for that also right?

[Artemidorus]

Well where I live they been offering Xbox One as the cheapest console to buy.

[Hanilugtehul]

yeah its crazy in my country,you can buy a xbox one with starwars bf, fifa 16 and ori and the blind forest for about 340 euro, and ps4 with starwars cost 380.I have a xbox one but the prizes the last couple of weeks has been very low, thats great for all us gamers:)PEACE:)

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Title should just include ps4

[gamertk421]

On a Windows site? OK, lol.

[GrubsterBeater]

Source is "Windowscentral.com" .

Funny how they added PS4 as the LAST item on the list, even though they never listed which console actually sold more, making it seem like XBox One outsold PS4, (whether it was intentional or not), I think we all know the answer. Lol

[Masterchief_thegoat]

Key word is own by ms.

[Kribwalker]

http://www.adobe.com/news-r...

Conspiracy theorist be damned. That is the source article, which also states it in the same order, and, also states that on thanksgiving day as well the Xbox was top 5 but not the PS4.

"Top Products and Inventory: Top sellers included Samsung 4K TVs, Apple iPad Air 2, Microsoft Xbox One, Lego Dimensions, Barbie Dream House and Lego Creative Box. Out-of-stock incidents were 600 percent higher than normal for electronics and 300 percent higher than normal for toys. "

So you can put your conspiracy theory to rest bud

[neocores]

FYI guys this is not in order. So dont go ape shit.

[Masterchief_thegoat]

nice xbox one and ps4 in top 5

[corroios]

They didnt put the PS4 on the title because it isnt news. We All know that the PS4 is selling like crazy, but the same doent happend with the Xbox One.

The news here is that the Xbox one is a top seller on the black friday. Like last year...

[djplonker]

"the news here is that the xbox is a top seller on the black friday. Like last year..."

If the xbox was a top seller last black friday then by your logic this isn't news either... Double standards much?

[FoxyGotGame]

@djplonker

Exactly what I thought when I read his comment. But I didn't want to reply to his stealth troll comment.

Good Call /

[johndoe11211]

Wrong, they didn't put the ps4 in the title because the site is a microsoft site. For the love of God the website is WINDOWSCENTRAL, I would think that that would be obvious.

[djplonker]

Well there shouldn't be any biast titles like this submitted on n4g it's zdreadz74 who submitted this article that left out the ps4 part in the title or copy and pasted the title from the website thats how n4g works... this corporate one sided reporting doesn't belong on an independant news website.

[freshslicepizza]

@johndoe11211
"Wrong, they didn't put the ps4 in the title because the site is a microsoft site. For the love of God the website is WINDOWSCENTRAL, I would think that that would be obvious."

fine, then tell us and be honest, what brought you here to this article then?

[Kribwalker]

The source article from Adobe doesn't have the PS4 in the title either

http://www.adobe.com/news-r...

What it seems like to me, the were rattling off top sellers in each general category for the title

1) tvs (Samsung)
2) video games (Xbox)
3) computers/tablets (iPad Air)
4) boys toys (Lego Starwars)
5) girls toys (shopkins)

[FoxyGotGame]

The way both MS/Sony have cut prices, did anyone actually doubt X1/PS4 would sell like crazy on BF.

Although, the way the public fight and scramble in these stores for mostly loss leaders, and basically 'Tat' products....it really is a stain on the Human Race /

[ZorinInc]

I bought an Xbox One last night. I own all current device apart from the 3DS now.

- 2 x PS4's
- Xbone
- PS TV
- Vita
- Wii U

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Yay?

[ZorinInc]

I'm just sayin, if everyone could afford to own all three systems there wouldn't be "console wars". They all have something different to offer.

[Masterchief_thegoat]

Nice finally brought new 3ds xl with the new Zelda game

[fingazblank]

I have seen some great deals for the xbox one and playstation 4, £200 for a refurbished white ps4 is just crazy and £225 for a brand new xbox one with a couple of games. Wished i had the money to purchase the PS4 but feel i purchased a xbox one and havent used it like i thought i would, pc gaming is just better.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Almost bought the WiiU Splatoon and Smashbros bundle...almost..

[ZorinInc]

The Wii U costs the same now as it did 18+ months ago when I bought mine with Mario Kart. Its crazy they've not reduced it.

[TheCommentator]

It's value has reduced significantly, just not its cost.

[lastking95]

Obviously consoles are always BF hits

[dreadz74]

Tombraider,lego,Fifa,Fallout 4,Elite,Forza 6,Halo MCC,Kinect bundle are all sold out @ the Microsoftstore selling really well. Amazon is sold out of certain bundles too like the Elite and Tomb Raider and in Canada Amazon and MS store are sold out of various bundles too.

Xb1 had better bundles and more variety for sure plus a free game and $60 ms store credit which means another game. So @ MS store you can get for $299 usd a bundled console for example Gears of war with a free game and additional free game with 60 credit 3 new games for 299 crazy deal. perhaps you wanted fifa bundle with EA acces which includes 12+ games in vault and 10 hour complete trial of all 16 EA games such as Star Wars Battfront,Need for speed,Nhl 16,Madden 16,Nba live 16. Here you can order but lots are sold out http://www.microsoftstore.c...

[djplonker]

Let's see if that actually made a difference before you go shouting from the rooftops that the xbox MIGHT have won one month in one region...

[FN4GM]

Really Phil Spencer, tell us more we cant get enough of your hyperbole and personal opinions.

[GrubsterBeater]

So in other words, their only chance to sell consoles is to practically give them away..

Microsoft: "Please buy our console :("

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Glad to see console sales were healthy...Octobers numbers seemed less than spectacular overall so for consoles this is a good sign and for the industry.

[frankdrebin72]

From my perspective, Xbox one bundles just seemed more superior.
Bundling remastered, uncharted trilogy, ,Gow etc just doesn't cut it any more.
I am sure now with the advent of BC on Xbox one and now in the future ps2 games for ps4, hopefully remasters take their place,..when it's deserved, when adequate time has passed....not cash grabs no matter what the meteoric ratings stated about four years ago!
Now the new games will shine on both hopefully, but IF Sony keep pumping out heavy rain etc then the wheels will come off the wagon.
Sure ps has cod,SWBF bundles but let's face it,..you can get them in bundles with Xbox. I did!
So yeah congrats, seems like gamers , real gamers not obsessed with what to buy unless it's digital foundry tested to find problems only their software can detect,..are finally waking up from the dream like state of ignorance.
Both consoles deserve the credit in what they bring,...or will bring......

[FN4GM]

LOL, Hilarious! The text above written by an xbox fanboy at N4G....

"it looks like the deep discounts on the Xbox One for Black Friday have helped it make a big splash"

try's to make it sound like xbone some how won something, meanwhile PS4 is in the same top five list and no sales figure were given in the actual article. Please N4G just stop already with this nonsense, unless Microsoft is paying you you're just embarrassing yourselves.
