Laptops and streaming devices such as Roku, Chromecast and Amazon Fire TV were among the top selling products on Black Friday, according to Adobe. Top selling video games included Red Dead Redemption 2, Let's Go Pikachu and God of War.

Pokémon seems to be doing really well, and likely will pickup as we head into the holiday gifting season. RDR2 should be no surprise. And GoW will probably hit some big milestones by the years end.

Edit: RE: Spiderman. My assumption would be that bundles aren't counted.

Yo, those God of War legs are insane.
Are bundles not being counted? How is Spider-Man not up there?

Also so happy at Pokemon's performance.

GoW is being sold at greatest hits value and below. Not insane at all to see a top rated new game sell alongside all the added hardware

I assume Spiderman isnt counted due to being bundled.
GoW legs seems Crazy good, looks like the same effect Horizon Zero Dawn had back in the previous BF.
Pokemon riding the launch sales with this event will cause huge sales so not really surprising.

So this doesn't count the bundles at all? Well Pokémon is a beast so no surprise it's leading the way.

God of War being on the list makes sense.
That is arguably the best deal in gaming right now.

Really cool to see a publisher put their best game at such a cheap price. God of War needs to be played by more people.

I keep forgetting that Adobe does this now. It's so weird.

The closer we approach Smash the more the magnitude of the Switch's impending holiday performance can be felt.

At our store we pretty much blew through our 40+ copies of Mario + Rabbids. I remember stocking those games a few months ago, annoyed at how much shelf space it was taking (too many copies for one game that wasn't really selling =_=) thinking how long would it be sitting there for.

Looks like the price drop to 20$ made a difference! ^_^

God of War and Spiderman were sellers, too. Some guy also mispronounced '''Bayonetta" so badly we spent a minute longer than we should have searching for the game.

Mario Kart Switch bundles went quick, too! As did the Spiderman PS4 bundles.

Mario + Rabbids at $20 is an absolute steal, biggest surprise of 2017 and a worthy evergreen for the Switch library.

Awesome for Pokemon. Also, GoW makes sense. The PS4 was insanely priced and GoW (my current GOTY) was a ridiculous $17.

Sony is very aggressive with their black friday deals. God of War at $20 is a fucking steal.

I remember thinking GOW could hit 8-10 million before release. Now I am more inclined to think 15 million LTD. Legs have been crazy since launch for a SP only non-Nintendo game.

While these were indeed all big sellers. CoD BO4 was actually the best selling game on Black Friday
