A full week of the Xbox Series S promotion and some retailers lowering it even further and the Series X being available for $400 on the MS Store on Instagram makes me think the Xbox Series X|S will be #1 in the US for Black Friday week. Nintendo had the same deal as in previous years, so I wouldn't expect sales for it to be up compared to last year. Mind you this is before I have any real data for last week. So we shall see. 

Yeah, you're probably right.  I had kind of figured that, due to Xbox's relatively weak lineup this year, sales might reflect that compared to the competition but that doesn't seem to be the case with those great deals.  One should never underestimate Xbox in the US.

US is by far the strongest market for the Xbox relatively to the rest of the world. While PS5 and Switch sales are more spread out. The Xbox 360 is the 3rd best-selling video game platform in North America, behind the DS and PS2. https://www.vgchartz.com/charts/platform_totals/Hardware.php/?sort=NA
