PlayStation 5 was the massive winner of Black Friday 2025 within the UK, with the console taking 62% of the console market throughout the week.
That’s in line with NielsenIQ {hardware} gross sales knowledge, revealed by The Recreation Enterprise, which means that gross sales of consoles had been up year-on-year throughout the gross sales interval, with income up 14% and unit gross sales up 7%.
This was overwhelmingly pushed by PS5, which did higher this 12 months than final, thanks partly to some fairly aggressive discounting from PlayStation.
The usual PS5 console was priced 21% decrease in comparison with two weeks beforehand, whereas the Digital model was 34% decrease. PS5 Professional, which was on sale at an all-time low value of £586, had its greatest week outdoors of its launch, in line with NielsenIQ.
Xbox Sequence S and X accounted for 10% of the market throughout Black Friday week. Nintendo Change 2 took a 23% share of the market throughout Black Friday, although at the next common promoting value, whereas Change 1 took 5%.
