It’s doing well as it is. Reducing its price in less than a year would be nuts. Probably next year. It’ll be great if they reduce its software though

I totally agree with you.
In my opinion isn't a good idea for Nintendo a price cut right now, Switch is top 5 with the regular price, maybe in the next black friday (2018) will make sense cut. However, a price cut for software would be great, specially for ARMS, they would be able to increase the base of players and fortify the IP.

Pro is $350 elsewhere. Looks like gamestop is the place to shop for consoles this black Friday, with a $50 voucher back on the $199 PS4. Meaning you can pretty much use that voucher to add Horizon, UC 4 and The last of us, to build your own bundle.

I wonder how stocked Amazon is for the consoles compared to the wider outlets too. If memory serves, last year was a clusterf#ck. Once the main bundle sold out, the fools edition was the top bundle, but never showed in the monthly or yearly.

Also the Battlefield field bundle was $199 for ages, why are people downplaying that, and thinking people were waiting to buy a bare bones system instead of the console with a good game?

I'm beginning to swing to undecided on the months winner. I bought the hype the Nintendo fans bought to the October thread. That sub 300k number for switch makes it an hard guess for the holidays. I also expected the X to be around 500k, with the S around 750k this month, and that to be enough for the month. I'm now thinking the X will be lower, so the top is a close run free for all.

Just random musings, don't shoot me. Looks a good month is coming for all 3. I'd hate to think where Xbox would be going into 2018 from now, without the X giving it a serious image boost.

#85 ps4 pro about to exit top 100. It needs a cut to 350 and that will help.

So, you praised Switch for leading and now you're reducing it just to mid gen consoles ... 

Could that be because the PS4 is leading now? Or is it because the XB1X isn't tearing up the charts as you predicted? You know, when you were saying you'd be updating the charts regularly. I'm sure you can remember. 

LOL, I remember that. I'm starting to doubt the validity of that promise.
