The good old days. I still remember discovering VGChartz back in 2009 and lurking for a year before plucking up the courage to actually join and take part.

I'm gonna make an assumption that the Switch will see new prices come next holiday when the next Xbox and PS launches.

looking at 249$ / 179$

If PS5 and Series X launches at 499$ and the possible addition of the Lockhart SKU at 299 or 349$ I think the Switch wants and needs to be the cheapest and with a decent margin.

It could easily do 1 million next week but the week after, the actual christmas week will see a very sharp drop for all consoles.

I wouldnt be so sure it can sell an additonal 2 million by the end of the year, i hope it can though.

Next week will be probably the biggest week of the year, so possibly 1.8-1.9m. The following week has potentially 3 days before Christmas, then the start of the sales, so whilst lower, it can still benefit from a decent week of sales numbers. 

Switch, the best console no matter what place, race, or creed.

NS still huge after a huge BF.
PS4 second, moderately lazy Xmas weeks after a big BF.
USA almost alone keep XBOne afloat.

Yeah 2 million will easily happen. I could see 2.5 million these last two weeks. I don't know if next week will be as big as BF, but it could certainly be like 1.6 or 1.7 million. And yeah as you say Christmas is wednesday which means that week gets a couple more days of big holiday shopping numbers so while it'll drop off I bet it'll still be close to a million. So 2.5 is possible.

Depends on how sales are doing next year. I imagine next year will be Switch's peak year and it won't really have any competition, so price cut wouldn't make sense for most of the year unless they see sales start to slow mid-year. But price cut does make sense leading up to the launch of the new systems to keep the Switch as the must have video game item next holidays. Nintendo won't want to get drowned out by the excitement of two new systems, so they should definitely be making business moves at that point. A couple 10+ million sellers launching plus a price cut would put them in good position to maintain buyer excitement in the wake of new systems.

On the other hand maybe they'll just actually have discounts going on instead of an actual price cut next holiday. Could totally see Switch actually being given real BF deals and then holiday discounts and then Nintendo watches as 2021 progresses to see if they need a permanent price cut during first half of 2021.

Lucky. I joined in June 2013, just as the WiiU started to crash and burn. I remember I'd be excited when it managed to sell over 30k in a week. Now the Switch sells in a regular week what the WiiU sold in the peak holiday sales. It's pretty surreal.

I'm hoping for a resolution on the drifting issues so I can get one for myself.

Yeah, I think discounts and bundles are more likely for holiday 2020.  There really is not much point for Nintendo competing hardcore in 2020 anyway.  Systems always sell well during a holiday launch.  Even the Wii U sold well during its first holiday.  Switch isn't going to take sales away from anyone during holiday 2020 no matter how hard they compete.  Furthermore they don't need to compete next year, because they'll have too much momentum, i.e. huge library of games, people want the system their friend has, etc....

In 2021 is when the real competition starts.  A few months after the holidays we'll see which systems keep selling well and which ones need help (like from a price cut).
