Nope, this link has the Best Buy/Amazon deals and they aren't $179.

You must be thinking of the black friday deals of $189

yea xbox had many crazy deals, it was on Ebay for 159$ for nearly a month brand new. dude sold like 20k i dont know if tht counts but ps4 really had a shit December only 1 week on a decent bundle with a game that wasn't popular, sony didn't even try for december.

Switch and PS4 look virtually identical more or less when going by NPD sales. Doesn't really matter who wins, it's more about staying in that same range. 

The key for Nintendo is going to be to learn how to keep sales high in year 4/5/6 rather than declining hard than most Nintendo systems do. Switch Pro is a must, PS4 Pro is a lot of the reason why PS4 is showing such strength in the back half of its product cycle. XBox One X has given the XBox One a new lease on life entirely.

Agree on the Pro point, and it is quite valid for Nintendo since the X2 is falling in price as time goes, making it more viable.  I expect we will see it.  Nintendo is already doing way better with bundles with Switch vs Wii U which often had only very, very limited bundles for new releases, even big ones.  

I will say that saying X gave Xbone a new lease is perhaps pushing it.  Worldwide it is only mildly up and still in the same general range and still getting routinely steamrolled by both competitors in its main market :P.  It has helped keep it very stable though, much like PS4 Pro.  Which is what these revisions usually do.

The comparison for the final 3 months is going to be very interesting. Do we have October through December NPD numbers for Switch in 2017? I'd assume this holiday season will be stronger, but I don't know how that compares to PS4's 2015 numbers.

The best estimates based on leaks are 295k, 770k & 1500k for Switch 2017.

So basically, good odds of taking December, solid shot at October, November is likely the deciding month and it needs to be up big time.

Yeah, November is going to be the difficult one - it'd need to match PS4's 2015 numbers to have a shot at matching or beating them for the whole year. I guess there is Pokemon, but I also think Nintendo will need to do some aggressive Black Friday deals, the way their competitors have.

I think this is going to be very close.
