All these pre-order will add up with november sales for this month. NPD doesnt include any of the pre-order in the month they were pre-ordered, but rather the month they were released. X1X august pre-orders werent counted for the month of august, but for the month of november.

Well, in the end every years we see a 50$ drop in price during Black Friday.

2014 was kinda special because it was all month 350$ compared to the usual 400$
2015 saw a 300$ compared to the usual 350$
2016 saw a 250$ compared to the usual 300$

This year we'll see 189$ (instead of 199$ but i don't think 10$ will matter that much) compared to the usual 250$, nothing really new.

Also to be fair i expect pretty much almost every XB1 S sold in the month being sold during Black Friday, like, not really ALL of them, but probabily a good 80% of them, the rest of the month won't be strong for S because of Xbox one X.

By the way, i still think S drop will be pretty hard compared to last year. What really surprised me are XB1X sales which are better than expected, so if before i was thinking that a lot of Xbox one would have been S, now i can see a very close percent.

P.S

Also yeah i thought Switch was already head this month... well, i guess is still good to have them pretty close, expecially when PS4 is nowhere at this level for now.

I think the drop off for the s won't be that big 1million to 500k seams like too much. I think it will do 700-850k. Still a drop off but only around 20%. Also last November was a historically bad November for everyone.

There isn't any indication that the One S is selling badly because of the One X. If anything, going by Amazon, the One S is placing the highest it has in quite some time. There have been pretty good deals for the One S this month and Black Friday never accounts for such as high split for November. 

Also I would say going from $2XX to $1XX is a significant barrier breach for the mass market. We saw insane sales in 2015 when the consoles went $299 and a quieter November when they only dropped to $249. December picked up significantly from November but it could be said Black Friday was hampered by a less than stellar price cut. Reaching $199/$189 could see a massive increase simply because it is now under $200.

Are the deals that made the One S rise a lot this month also available at other retailers? I haven't really kept track, so I'm asking out of curiosity.
