   Walmart sells 1.4 million tablets on Black Friday, iPad Mini preferred product

Even as Black Friday was still going on, Walmart coyly produced a quick press release in which it announced record-breaking results in sales for the day.

And since tablets seem to be the most sought after gift this holiday season, Walmart managed to sell a whopping 1.4 million slates. The shopping giant didn't break down the numbers by brand or model, but the iPad Mini is mentioned as one of the top-selling items. We expect more details about which tablets sold the most to appear soon.

Other gadgets that customers were fighting over at Walmart appear to have been Microsoft’s new Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4.

On Black Friday,Walmart is usually the scene of riots, fights and all kinds of erratic human behavior, like user courtneylexis says on Twitter, claiming she got stuck in a fight over a tablet. Are slates really worth it?
