Amazon devices hit record sales despite recent reports of confusion at its hardware division

Amazon announced on Tuesday that it had the best sales weekend ever for its consumer devices over the Black Friday weekend, despite recent reports of confusion at its hardware unit.

The best selling products were the 7-inch Fire tablet and the Fire TV streaming device, each seeing a 6x and 3x bump in sales, respectively, compared to the same period of last year.

The company added that the Fire TV was the top selling streaming media player across all US retailers in the three-month period from July through October.

On top of that, Amazon's Echo personal assistant device is proving to be a massive success too, as it was the top selling $100-plus product on Amazon.com, it said.
