The way these two trends are progressing makes me very curious of how the holiday season.

Same here

Nintendo did pretty good last year except October (because Odyssey came too late for pushing the whole month) and no Black Friday deal hurting November. This year Super Mario Party releases early October, Pokémon around BF and Smash early December, which should be vastly superior of what we got last year during that period. Add to this a potential BF deal or even a pricecut and Switch would sell bonkers.

PS4, on the other hand, will probably continue it's trend. Spiderman and RDR2 could slow it down a bit, but with both CoD and BF5 shaping up to be big disappointments, they won't do much for pushing sales. If Sony doesn't come with a permanent pricecut or extending it's BF deal until the end of the year I fear sales will just drop down further and further compared to last year.

Edit: As for Xbox One, there will soon be a jump in weekly sales to about what it's selling nowadays. This means it probably won't win much lead anymore until the One X launch, which boosted that week by a good 500k. In other words, which Xbox had been leading this whole year, it could end up flat overall
