The Black Friday figures are in, and they prove that people just want to dance.
Heading to Amazon for gaming deals on Black Friday – and the several days after – has become a tradition for many. Most buyers probably don’t offer a passing thought as to what publishers come out ahead thanks to the hot, über-cheap lightning deals, but as far as overall sales figures go, this year’s clear winner is definitely Ubisoft. The company scored three of the top four best-selling titles from November 23rd through the 25th, which is a pretty impressive feat.
Taking the top overall spot was Just Dance 4 on the Wii, followed by Assassin’s Creed III for Xbox 360, Halo 4, and then Assassin’s Creed III for PlayStation 3. Just Dance 4 for Xbox 360 appears a few slots down on the list, and Just Dance 3 for Wii even makes an appearance. That’s a whole lot of dancing and assassinating, or assassinating and then dancing about it, if that’s your thing.
The Just Dance series continues to sell remarkably well, and has been a top Black Friday pick on Amazon for the past three years now. Sports games also did rather well on this year’s list, with both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of FIFA Soccer 13 taking the number 7 and 8 spots respectively. Madden NFL 13 appears twice on the list as well. Here’s the full rundown:
