This Black Friday, a small Android console outsold the Xbox Series
, by Thibaut
Black Friday is a very important event around the world, especially in the United States. Thanks to Mat Piscatella from Circana, we can see the ranking of the best-selling consoles during this period.
In the week ending November 29, 2025, the PS5 topped the US market, accounting for 47% of console sales. This excellent result was undoubtedly helped by promotions on the machine. The Switch 2 came in second with 24% of sales.
While many expected the Xbox Series to finish third, this was not the case. In fact, it was the NEX Playground that rounded out the top three with 14%. Sold for $250 ($200 during Black Friday), this console, released in 2023, runs on Android and features a motion-detection camera similar to Kinect. Its popularity is growing in the US.
