Being BF and if we talk only USA, I don't think MS will do fine.

The issue is that people assume MS will do perfectly fine in its largest market, but that's disregarding the competition. The Switch is red hot in a mobile-heavy market, and the PS4 has insane deals and the benefit of the price tag and library.

 

Every company will obviously see an increase in sales, but personally I don't see anything significantly positive for Microsoft

Ow I agree there isn't anything specially or significant positive to MS, just that narrowing to BF on USA and MS usually going with the knife on the theets I can expect they to not fall to much behind Sony on BF.

Switch is the wild card, will it have enough stock for BF (I don't think it need any deal expect a perhaps free game bundle) to sell like crazy on this BF, but maybe Nintendo allocation won't allow they to outsell PS4/X1 on BF.

For BF I have no idea, but Sony forecast 19M for FY and Nintendo upped their to 14M. Take what it already sold and what is expected to sell on Q4 and you can have some estimatives... probably around 1M for the week.

Free game? That's not needed at all. The momentum the Switch has sustained is ridiculous. What was considered 'overpriced' has sold at a pace beyond what the switch haters expected. 

 

The Switch has hype leading into its first Holiday with a new and fresh Mario game. Don't be surprised if the Switch is this year's hot item on everyone (and I mean everyone's) wish list

With snes mini, 3ds and switch, is it a competition at all?

Switch will be the hottest item, yet maybe supply constrained.

US: Switch
Europe: Playstation ... Vita!!!
Japan: Switch
Worlwide: Playstation 4(they'll do too good in Europe and close enough to Switch in America for the Japanese advantage to mean a pure win, plus they have way more stock)

There always could appear some deal, it will depend on how much they want to push, but I don't expect one.

Why are you talking about ww sales for the black friday ? It's mostly in North America,

Mostly, yes. But it has spread a lot to Europe in the last couple of years.

Yeah, they will sell PS4 Slim at 270€ and pretending it's a huge price drop. That's wat black friday looks like in Europe.
