There were some "deals" in the UK for Xbox's, but negligible, especially after price rises. It was basically just £50 off. Not official sales afaik. MS just aren't trying to sell them.

There were actually better deals for Switch 2 than Xbox, which is wild considering one is 6 months old and the other 5 years old. RRP of the MKW bundle is £429 but saw it as low as £375 at Costco, there was also a nice MKW+DK+Hotwheels bundle for £439 from Very.

MS just aren't trying at all this holidays.

According to the article, Xbox had an 8 % price reduction in the UK last week compared to 3 % price reduction for Switch 2 on average.

Yeah Xbox basically had £30-£50 discounts on the standalone consoles at retailers and that was it. Which when they put the price up earlier in the year means on sale they were barely cheaper than the price they launched at lol.

Switch 2 meanwhile, most of the deals were on the MKW bundle, so the average price wouldn't come down much because most of the deals were above that £405 average but with extra free stuff like games/12 months NSO. The percentage of people getting the cheaper standalone switch 2 on BF will have gone down a lot because there were basically no deals for it.

Nintendo Store itself is giving away free 12 month NSO sub with the MKW Bundle, other retailers like Amazon were selling the Switch 2 + MKW bundle for £405 down from the RRP of £429, and Costco with the silly £375.
