As the holiday season approaches, families are looking for ways to spend more time together – shared experiences that create long-lasting memories. This Black Friday, Nintendo offered a bundle includes a Nintendo Switch system and a download code for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game, at a suggested retail price of only $299.99. This attractive bundle managed to shift a number of units, but the Xbox One managed to come out on top in terms of Black Friday sales in the UK. Read on below to learn more:
“Xbox One very narrowly beat Nintendo Switch by ‘just a handful of consoles’. Nintendo’s machine also featured some big discounts during Black Friday, with the new ‘Lite’ version down to £179.99. Retailers also did some bundling around products such as Nintendo Labo, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe and Pokemon Sword and Shield. The Neon Switch with the longer battery life was the biggest selling version of the machine. Nintendo sold more Switch consoles during this Black Friday than it managed over the same period in 2018.
“In terms of revenue, Nintendo Switch was actually the No.1 console due to the higher price of the machine compared to Xbox One. This all meant that PS4 was in third place. Sony’s machine sold just over 60,000 units last week, with the FIFA 20 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare bundles proving to be the most popular. Although there were offers around PlayStation last week, they were not as aggressive as Microsoft’s deals.”
