I wonder if this is a direct leak from Nintendo as Gameseek specificity say they offering this price in a news article rather than just a slip up on the website as the big Black Friday sales start tomorrow to try make people think about saving that $249 for the Switch, If the price goes up on Amazon in the US I could see it affecting console sales through the holidays.

I have never known Nintendo to act like that in the past. I'm not sure they care about doing things like that. A bit to devious for them, i would think.

True but usualy when we get leaks it's because websites publish the real date instead of a placeholder then edit it back to a placeholder after a few minutes where as Gameseek have straigh out made a news article saying:

"You may already be aware that we have strived to be the cheapest place to purchase video games for years, and we have now slashed the prices down even further on consoles at GameSeek, offering you even more savings on Xbox One, PS4, 3DS and the upcoming Nintendo Switch.

To help us celebrate our new initiative, we've opened pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch at just £198.50."

From the site ""With our Pre-order Price Guarantee, you can order now and if the GameSeek price increases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lower price""

They must of had some sort of confirmaion from Nintendo to do that as they are making a pre-order price promise on the orders so they wouldn't take orders if it was actually going cost more than £199 as they would just loose all the profit in it.
