Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Look, it's Thanksgiving weekend and there's nothing to write about, so indulge us while we dump a little intel on the PlayStation 4's recent sales performance. Actually, all we have to go on comes courtesy of research firm InfoScout, which determines sales by asking shoppers to photograph their receipts or something. Sounds totally scientific, right?

Anyway, the company collated over 150,000 proof of purchase pictures from Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and analysed them in order to determine greater sales trends. This unbelievably tedious job revealed that the PS4's flagship Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection bundle was the highest earner at Best Buy, while cheap tablets and televisions otherwise ruled the roost.

While it's clear that Sony's system is selling incredibly well at $299.99, we reckon that these results do need to be tempered somewhat. For starters, the Japanese giant put all of its effort into a single SKU, while Microsoft's offerings were more spread. Moreover, the market is much, much bigger than just Best Buy, so this doesn't really tell us much of anything.

One thing that's clear is that the PlayStation maker's going to have a very good November – irrespective of what its competitors do. Indeed, let's not forget that this month has also seen the release of limited edition Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Star Wars Battlefront bundles – expect that 30.2 million units tally to have increased dramatically this weekend.
