For many customers, problems persisted well into that night. > While it was likely the most botched opening in the sale's four years, the screw-up didn't change the expected final outcome: a third record sale in a row. Amazon said Wednesday that this year's Prime Day surpassed all prior sales records in the e-commerce giant's two-decade history, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when compared against other 36-hour periods (the sale this year was a day and a half).
