The Xbox Series X is one of the most popular products on Black Friday

More typical than Black Friday is knowing after the fact who got the cat in the water of console sales. It is known that this year and last 2021, the stock problems derived from the shortage of chips and the high demand have taken their toll on the next-gen consoles. And this year, although in a more moderate way, this effect is still continuing. Last year, the biggest beneficiary was Xbox Series S, the Black Friday sales leader, and according to this Adobe study, this year that spot appears to have been taken by Xbox Series X.

This is what we can know thanks to VGCwhich echoed this study extracted from the result of Black Friday in the American market, indicating that it is among the 5 most searched products, also called “Hot Products”, The Xbox Series X being the only console among them. It comes with the new Modern Warfare 2, drones, Macbooks, and some merchandise from a character called ‘Bluey’.

The Xbox Series X, without discount yet, seems to be the most wanted

And it is that if we have to extrapolate the experience here in Europe, we find that it is possible to buy an Xbox Series X at the price of $ 499 without any additional pack -as if it happens with PS5-, but of course, the only discount in this case is the Xbox Series S, whose price has dropped to $ 229 in some cases or the Nintendo Switch, which offers its OLED model for around $ 300, if they have not yet sold out.

It’s striking that there’s starting to be a more mainstream movement of these, as it looks like Microsoft has been trying to get more consoles to market so that this Christmas no one is left without their next-gen console , because unfortunately it’s already impossible to buy a new Xbox One or PS4, even if you want to. At the moment, the study does not specify what it means by “Top Products”, but last year it referred to it as the list of the most popular products among more than 1,000 stores consulted.
