The most popular Black Friday console was not PS5, Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch

Xbox is a video game brand name developed by Microsoft that includes a series of video clip consoles established by the exact same company, from 6th to 9th generation, as well as applications (games), streaming services and Xbox Live online solution. The brand was first introduced on November 15, 2001, in the USA, with the launch of the Xbox console. This initial tool was the very first video game console provided by an American firm after the Atari Jaguar quit sales in 1996. The console got to even more than 24 million units offered until Might 10, 2006. The 2nd Microsoft console, Xbox 360, was introduced in 2005 as well as sold more than 85.6 million consoles worldwide until June 2015. The Xbox 360 successor and also the most current Microsoft console, Xbox One, was exposed on May 21 of 2013. Xbox One has been released in 21 markets worldwide on November 22, 2013, has offered greater than 50 million duplicates, with the United Kingdom being the initial country, and on November 17, 2020, introduces its More current console, the Xbox Series X and also Series S, that has actually offered 5.7 million duplicates to day.

While Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X continue to have a great demand, it seems that none of these systems was the one who received the Black Friday. Instead, it seems that a different winner was chosen on November 26, and that console was the Xbox Series S! According to the Adobe digital economy index, the totally digital platform of Microsoft was one of this year's best-selling items. There are many factors that probably influenced the success of the Xbox SERIES S this year, but Business Insider attributes that great performance at the most economical price of the console and how easy it is to acquire it.

Of course, there are two other factors that could have influenced the success of the Xbox SERIES S: Fora Horizon 5 and Halo infinite. Fora Horizon 5 has been a great success of criticism for Xbox since its debut earlier this month. Microsoft also made an intelligent movement by throwing Halo Infinite multiplayer before the Black Friday, and it is not impossible to think that the mouth to positive mouth could have helped sell systems. After all, the entry price for the Xbox SERIES S is quite cheap, and both games are available to play on Xbox Game Pass. In addition, $300 is an economical way for players to experience other next-generation games, such as Resident Evil Village.

While the Xbox Series S is quite cheap for a video game console, there are some compensations in addition to your disk drive. The system is a little less powerful than the Xbox Series X and has a fairly limited storage capacity. Users can always choose to buy a memory card, but they are still quite expensive (almost as much as the system itself). That said, Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available in consoles and that feature eliminates the need to store those games.

It will be interesting to see how Xbox Series S is sold in the coming months and years! At this time, PS5 and Xbox Series X are still incredibly difficult to obtain thanks to the global shortage of semiconductors. If that situation does not improve soon, it could lead to the most players to Xbox Series S.
