Its listed on there as 3% of brick and mortar sales, and 5% of online sales, so not big numbers at all for it on BF, though that is expected. BF was all about deals / price

For the purpose of this comparison, Nintendo was left out.
Even then, they say Wii and 3DS aren't included lol.

"The 2016 analysis was limited to Xbox and PlayStation, purchases including the Nintendo WII and 3DS were not included."

They don't sell monitors with a high enough resolution for that bar to show up yet.

I honestly would have thought it'd be the other way around.
That Pro % is pretty bad.
That Pro % is pretty bad.
If they didn't want it to seem like a minor upgrade they shouldn't have named it the 'PS4 Pro' and reused the same 2011 netbook CPU.
Really bad. I'm very surprised.
Agreed, and that's a major weakness come next year. MS will go for the jugular.

It's Black Friday. It's all about price.

Because that's what is. It's a part of the Xbox ecosystem. PlayStation Pro isn't a gigantic leap and Sony never said it was.
Is Nintendo ever included in these?

PS4 Pro wasn't the focus this Black Friday. Criticise the strategy all you like, but Sony tried to shift PS4 Slim bundles... And it looks like they did very well.

I wonder what the totals look like. I would think people would wait for Monday to buy stuff online, but I'm not an analyst by any means.

3% are the others SKUs like OG XB1.

A gigantic leap for those with 4k TVs ? They'll still have a challenge changing that message . Sony's going to sell 50 million soon they don't care which you buy
I thought they stopped selling the original when the slim came out?

Why? They never said or marketed it as their next system. I'm sure Scorpio will be marketed as MS's next big thing seeing as they already said as such. By the time we start to see some real concrete things about Scorpio, maybe Sony will leak some tidbits about PS5 or whatever it will be called, but I'm sure it will equal or blow away whatever Scorpio will be.

MS will have the same problem. If people think the Pro is minor to the PS4 people won't be impressed by Scorpio when comparing it to the Pro. Especially if it's more expensive like its projected to be and like said above if the Pro does bad MS has an even harder time to promote it.
Anyway this is expected. It's about deals and the Pro had nothing. A better gauge would be to see how they compare in a regular month.
Yup, here come the waves of half-assed Pro supported games.

I guess the question now is, is this defeat more or less significant than last year? was Xbox really on a "fire sale"?

can we get %s for cyber monday? thats when the real fun started with the Target 15% off and the ensuing price match frenzy lol (at least for the pro)
That's what I assumed. I'm surprised there's that many OG unit out there. The other numbers were close enough to just be from rounding a few numbers off.
I'd argue they're pretty happy about it, because it means their decision to not upgrade hardware this year was justified (Phil said they had discussed making a PS4 Pro-ish model instead of the S)
It also gives them a full year to learn about what the PS4 Pro did right and wrong without it really killing their market share.

BF is a day where people buy a ton of cheap stuff that is heavily advertised. The Pro number really doesn't mean anything, because it wasn't part of those deals.
Why would anyone go and buy a Pro on Black Friday?

I think MS has plans to market/push the Scorpio as if it's pretty much an all new Xbox that's compatible with Xbox One games and accessories so I don't think they'll worry too much (at least not yet).
Gives them examples to see what to do with the console -- pricing, advertising, etc.
Sony never wanted the Pro to be looked at as a major upgrade, and i doubt they are scared of Scorpio.

All we know is PS4 did better on Cyber Monday. No figures and that counts for December.

They're happy about putting out a $500+ box when the market is proven to be highly price sensitive?
But it's not an "all new Xbox that's compatible with Xbox One games" still a Xbox One.
Not if the console is supposed to not have its own games and be stuck to having games playable for XB1, you have to think of that as well. its still a pro like scenario, especially without zen.
