I expect a cut to 249$ later this year but 199$ only during some holiday promotions

Agreed.  And really, seeing as it is only down 4% weekly so far, that is all that is really needed.  If PS5 launches next year, then I see them dropping it to a permanent $199.

@ OP

Very good performance by Switch.  It will interesting to see how it does in Feb if the Smash/SMB affect wears off.  Very good for PS4, as well, given it is only 4% down weekly and still being sold at $299.  And a BIG ouch for XBO.  Down drastically, even though it is by far the cheapest option of the three.  That's the importance of a good flow of quality exclusives for you.

I think we'll have to wait for next month NPD to be sure. KH3+RE2 certainly provided a much bigger boost in the west then MH3 last year, so February is more representative of the coming months imo.
