So that's their final numbers?

Update – 2015-11-30
Due to popular demand, we've augmented the post to include a breakdown by major gaming console.
At Target and Walmart, the Xbox One + Gears of War bundle barely outsold its rival PS4 + Uncharted Bundle. Yet, strong PS4 sales at Amazon.com and other retailers were enough to edge out the Xbox One for top sales this Black Friday season.

yep!

hmm that says $ share,  so actual number of consoles could be different

edit:  big win if true!!!   i think sony took the rest of the month as well if you dont include bf.  so total NPD could go well for sony

Well, the PS4 and XBO were both priced at $299 on BF (and the weekend). If the PS4 costed $349, then that would be an entirely different story.

Ouch for Halo 5 and RIP, Lara...

Not all. PS4 still had the Battlefront bundle at $349, but the NDC bundle was $299.

Ps4 had
NDC 300
SW standard 350
SW LE 400
COD LE 430

X1 had

Gears 300
Holiday 350
Fallout 350
TR 350
Kinect 380
Halo LE 450

All X1 bundles were discounted and sold as BF stock. For the PS4, only the NDC was. Therefore, the revenue measure further benefits the PS4's position

I told ya!  
I told ya all this stuff!  
From the winning to the bundle winning!

The news you guys posted says PS4 won BF but Gears was the top SKU.

Gears wasn't the top sku. It was the top sku in something. Who knows what

They said it was the top sku.  That target deal is great, nothing unbelievable about it being the top SKU.  Even where I was working, which didn't have that fantastic deal, the PS4 UC collection was pretty close to the Gears bundle.  

Not sure why you're finding it so unbelievable.

If it was the top sku X1 would win. Top sku at Target and Walmart? Sure. Top sku? No.

Top SKU overall...
PS4 win overall...

Example.

100 Xbox One bundle 1 - TOP SKU Gears
50 Xbox One bundle 2
30 Xbox One bundle 3
20 Xbox One bundle 4
TOTAL: 200

90 PS4 bundle 1
80 PS4 bundle 2
70 PS4 bundle 3
TOTAL: 240

Makes sense now?

[Rorono]

No, it doesn't, because that would never happen. Read my post breaking down the skus from both of them.
