Xbox Series X has been a considerable step up from Microsoft’s last generation console. The new console aims to provide best-in-class performance at an affordable price point, and many consumers have found themselves attracted to the Xbox brand due to these incentives. 

While it is no surprise that Xbox Series X is growing in popularity, Microsoft’s console has now seen its best month yet. According to a new report from Adobe, Xbox Series X was the most popular product during Black Friday.

Surprisingly, Xbox has managed to beat out the ever-popular Call of Duty franchise. As seen above, Xbox Series X has surpassed products like the latest Call of Duty and Macbooks.

The console saw heavy discounts recently. Microsoft reduced the price to $399 on the Microsoft Instagram Store, which has likely contributed to this increased demand. Additionally, Xbox has become the go-to brand for customers looking for the best value.

Xbox Series X is also the superior console in terms of hardware. According to Digital Foundry, Xbox Series X wins most performance comparisons over the PlayStation 5. PlayStation 5 has also seen a recent price hike in certain regions, adding to the value argument for Xbox Series X.

Furthermore, services like Xbox Game Pass provide an excellent line-up of third and first-party releases on the subscription. Microsoft continues adding new games to Xbox Game Pass, which has crossed 25 million subscribers. 

Game Pass has been a crucial part of Microsoft’s strategy to provide unbeatable value. This, combined with the incredible Xbox Series X console, has helped Microsoft improve sales for the Xbox Series X.

The Xbox brand has made a strong comeback with the Xbox Series X console and Game Pass. It looks like the market has shown a clear preference for Xbox on Black Friday, despite PlayStation’s lead in the market. 

Xbox Series S|X consoles have sold over 18 million units worldwide. With new releases like Starfield on the horizon, this number will likely go even higher in the coming years.
