Cyber Monday sales top $3 billion, beat forecast

Robust online sales late in the day helped push Cyber Monday revenues to more than $3 billion for the first time, setting a record for a single day of online sales that also topped expectations.

According to the Adobe's Digital Index, total online sales on Cyber Monday rose 16 percent from last year, to $3.07 billion. 

The software company had predicted the sales event, which is traditionally the largest online selling day of the year, would rise just 12 percent, to right around $3 billion.
