Xbox One was the UK No.1 games console over Black Friday

Wonder how much money MS actually made, wouldn't be surprised if they were behind PS4 and Switch in terms of revenue at them deal prices
Nintendo is first in revenue yeah, per Games Industry.
Still I didn't expect Microsoft to take BF even with those promotions !
Great deal. I'm not in the market for a digi only Xbox, but if you wanted something like that, you would snap it up. Also, UK is forever a strong Xbox market.
lol, yeah. 5 posts in and you can already feel the salt.
microsoft is a trillion dollar company, you guys don't have to worry about how much they made or lost because of their bundles and deals.
There's no place on earth more price sensitive than the UK.
If MS prices XBOX TWO right, they win next gen there. With all the fuck ups they are still super close to PS4.

Because as consumers, we should really be worrying about this.
You could say the same about who "won" black friday or any sales discussion really...
Not worry, it's curiosity. I say this as a game dev who is interested in how things sell :D
Talent wins etc.
But yeah, the deals were pretty incredible.

Eh, with the next-gen around the corner, it's not too surprising.
Games Pass is a very attractive service. I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to the sales a lot. It greatly influenced me to pick up a One X.
Lots of excuses get trotted out for why sales threads are relevant
Impressive for Nintendo to be within a handful of units of the Xbox even with price disparity - I'm guessing Pokémon probably helped a lot as well.
Xbox had some damn good deals this season over here, definitely would have grabbed one if I was a little more flush.

Looks like people are finally ok with an all digital console ( I am too been digital since 2012)
The concern trolling about whether a billion dollar company makes enough money is already happening
Just goes to show there's plenty left in the tank for both PS4 and Xbox One, they just need to put the prices down. Given their age and all the money they make on services and digital purchases, £180 for the Slim and the S and £130 for the SAD is about where they should be.
I'm kind of getting tired of this "as a consumer" refrain that is constantly trotted out on ERA to shame people who have interest/curiosity in things that don't nessisarily affect them. This is a hobby board, we don't always have to be so self-centered and obsessed with consumer culture to discuss topics.
Even I was tempted to buy one at those prices but then I decided I can wait another year and buy an S with a tray (and probably 3 or 4 games) for ~100 EUR and replace my aging BR player and get access to some console exclusives. It was insane value if you can live with all digital though.
