It had impressive deals this year. The mario Kart $299  + $50 Gift cards deal. That's like a $100 price cut.

$299 Mario Kart bundle was good deal, it want impressive, price cut to $199 with one game would be impresive like PS4 that with game that was one month old. $299 is not real price cut its a bundle with one game availible at same $299 price, $50 gift card was just for one retailer (and even that you needed to spend $300 in any case) for instance on Amazon you didn't had that deal, $299 with one game (even $249) is not same thing like $199 with one game.

Again......

5yr old console.

Already with almost 30M install base in the region. 

At this stage of its life it literally needs deals like those to compete. It can't sell on the novelty of being the hot item anymore. Its 5yrs old. It can only sell based its value proposition right now.

You keep talking about deals and what not but ignoring the most important details. Keep in mind that the PS4 sold 1.5M in its second november and at $399 with the kinda "deals' the NS is enjoying now. 

To put things in perspective..... by the Wii's (last console to track like this) 5th year its sales had tanked.
