The Japanese console becomes the most successful entertainment device; In video games the winner was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Black Friday 2019 ends and, as usual, it is time to take stock of the results and check if the public has been receptive to this celebrity clearly oriented to consumption. If we stick to video games and consoles, this past Monday we met how things went in the United Kingdom; Now we know that in the United States the big winner was Nintendo Switch.
As reported by a CNN Business report, Nintendo's hybrid machine in the current generation of consoles managed to impose on Sony and Microsoft's domestic solutions despite not having relevant discounts. The Kyoto players played all their cards to the same bundle as twelve months ago: Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $ 299; A savings of $ 50 that was more attractive this time than the much cheaper options that were seen for PS4 and Xbox One.

The console's best-selling video game – 19 million copies, according to official data – was the trigger for a success that will, according to Wedbush Securities analysts, reach the goal of 17 million units shipped across the planet for the term of this fiscal year (from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020). This same consultant believes that the reaction of the community has been especially positive with Nintendo Switch because "it gives a feeling of being a long-term purchase." The public is already aware of the intentions of Sony and Microsoft in the medium term, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Project Scarlett respectively, at Christmas 2020.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with a discount of $ 10, was the best-selling video game last weekend. According to the information there was no possibility of removing the title of Activision from that place. In consumer electronics, Apple's AirPods stand out, which have sold just over 3 million just this past weekend and are expected, according to this same source, to sell another 15 million units in December; Surely there is not enough stocking at Christmas.
