Data collected by shopping market research firm InfoScout indicates that the Xbox One was the most popular gaming console during Black Friday 2013, thanks to a 31 percent market share. Xbox 360 followed with a 30 percent share. The PlayStation 4 and PS3 were next with 15 percent each. Nintendo closed things out with a 6 percent share for Wii U and 1 percent share for Wii.
InfoScout also reveals the top-selling games for the Black Friday period. Call of Duty: Ghosts came out top, with Disney Infinity, Skylanders Swap Force, Grand Theft Auto V, and Madden NFL 25 rounding out the top five.
Mansion Lord, Golgom Games’ “RPG/business sim” with a murder mystery twist, could find its way to Wii U.
The team is currently seeking $28,000 in funding to make Mansion Lord a reality. If donations exceed $85,000, we’ll be seeing the game on Wii U. This would need to happen by December 19.
