Switch having a great month so far in Dec! Ps4 still holding strong and even the XB1 is staying consistent. I wonder how sales will show come NPD with this being the Holiday period and so many things messing with sales.....in particular the B&M sales.

I wonder this myself, as online sales trackers currently show the cheapest console (the xbox S) lagging behind all the others, with the much more expensive X leading the way for Xbox One. Granted, that would make sense in a normal sales month, at least after combing through the numbers throughout the year, but I find it hard to believe that Christmas shoppers, who are generally extremely price sensitive, would skip over the cheapest console, but who knows? Maybe the online trackers are more accurate than it would seem.

 

Also interesting will be seeing if Switch's online sales are matched by B & M this month. The system is selling quite well, but its rankings on Amazon have led me to overestimate how big its sales would actually be (I thought it would do about 400k in October and 1 million in November). Maybe December, with Nintendo's usual holiday push, will finally see the two a bit more in sync with each other. 

Yeah this is always an exciting time of the year for sales to say the least! So we will see how things turn out.
