- Microsoft's console easily outsells Nintendo Wii U
Microsoft has just announced that its Xbox 360 console sold 750,000 units during the week of Black Friday in the US. By comparison, Nintendo's brand-new Wii U console sold 400,000 units during its launch week. Microsoft also said that Halo 4 "exceeded expectations with impressive sales the week of Black Friday."
Another important data point Microsoft sent along is that Xbox Live Gold Subscription card sales increased more than 50 percent compared to last year's Black Friday week. Microsoft notes "incredible activity on Xbox over the weekend" with more than 14 million people on Xbox Live on Sunday alone, accounting for more than 72 million hours of use in just one day. Microsoft also said that compared to 2011, there's been a 43 percent increase in US entertainment application usage taking place on Xbox Live during the week of Black Friday.
It's important to note that the retail reporting calendar tracked data from Sunday, Nov. 18 - Friday, Nov. 23, so Microsoft's Xbox 360 sales don't even include the last weekend. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-11-27-xbox-360-sells-750-000-during-black-friday-week | |

| Since Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 came out recently, this is not surprising at all. | |
