Xbox One and Xbox 360 were reportedly the top selling consoles at Target and Walmart during Black Friday, accounting for 61 per cent of hardware sales between the two retailers.
The figure comes from an InfoScout report spotted byPolygon (http://www.polygon.com/2013/12/1/5163832/xbox-one-tops-console-purchases-for-select-retailers-on-black-friday), which notes that hard sales figures weren't provided by the organization.
InfoScout points out Xbox's success was influenced by limited availability of PlayStation 4 stock, along with Walmart’s $99 Xbox 360 Black Friday deal.
The PS3 and PS4 ended up combining to make up 30 per cent of the console sales for the period, while the Wii U claimed just six per cent of the total (with the Wii also making up an additional percentage point).
The report included a chart for the top 20 software titles between the two chains as well:
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Disney infinity
Skylanders: Swap Force
Grand Theft Auto 5
Madden NFL 25
Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag
