The Xbox One was the best-selling console at Wal-Mart and Target on Black Friday, according to data from retail analytics firm InfoScout. Writing on the company's official blog, the firm said Microsoft's new system made up 31 percent of all console sales, outperforming the PS4 handily, which took in 15 percent of sales and was the fourth best-selling console on Black Friday.

　　InfoScout says the Xbox 360, which benefited from a $99 sale price on the 4GB version at Wal-Mart, finished second overall. The 12GB PlayStation 3 was marked down to $150 at Wal-Mart and finished third overall, capturing 15 percent of overall sales across Wal-Mart and Target.

　　Nintendo finished last, with the Wii U ranking fifth with 6 percent of sales, while the original Wii brought up the rear with 1 percent of all sales across Wal-Mart and Target. Data for handhelds like the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS and PlayStation Vita was not included.

　　The Xbox platform's dominance was partially attributed to limited availability of the PS4 on Black Friday combined with the deep Xbox 360 discount, InfoScout said.

　　What's more, the Xbox One was the sixth best-selling item overall at Wal-Mart, according to a survey of 5,000 Black Friday receipts from InfoScout. Microsoft's new console was outpaced by three HDTVs, the iPad Mini, and an HP laptop. Also making Wal-Mart's top twenty list were the Xbox 360 (8), PlayStation 3 (11), Call of Duty: Ghosts for Xbox 360 (12), PlayStation 4 (16), and Nintendo 2DS (18).

　　InfoScout also released a list of top-performing software for Wal-Mart and Target, with multiplayer shooter Call of Duty: Ghosts leading the way on Black Friday. Check out the full list below.
