Black Friday Sales Yield Almost a Million Xbox 360s Sold

Posted on Wednesday, November 30 @ 08:23:57 Eastern by


The Xbox 360 has had a great year in the US. Each month, the Xbox 360 is the front-runner in consoles sold, with competitors Wii and PS3 struggling to keep pace. This trend has proven stronger than ever during this past week, mainly due to Black Friday deals and sales.

Microsoft has issued a statement that 960,000 Xbox 360 consoles were sold last week. Holy shit. 800,000 of them were sold on Black Friday alone. Holy shit! 

The surge has been since last November when Microsoft release the Kinect motion-sensor for the Xbox 360, and it's still going strong - between Kinects bundled within consoles and through standalone units, a whopping 750,000 Kinects were sold last week, too.

It's clear that consumers love Black Friday. But I'd be willing to bet that Microsoft loves it even more.

    Can't say I've known a single person who's picked up a 360 in recent years. All the people I know that have them got theirs 4 or 5 years ago, at least.

    I'm in the same boat. I camped out in front of a Gamestop before they opened, along with a bunch of other people, and it seemed that everyone was there for the $200 PS3 deal. Of the 20-30 people I talked with, nobody was there for anything 360 related.

    Perhaps they went for the 360 after all the PS3s were gone? I'm still waiting for there to be a solid amount of good Kinect games before I'll stop being confused people are buying them.

    It might be because the only good 360 deals were online: amazon and newegg.

    By good I mean a 250 gb holiday bundle for $199. Ok Best Buy had that promo too, but you were at Gamestop.
