Went into a kind of unpopular Walmart yesterday (in the US).  Every system was sold out.  Not even the Switch Lite is in stock.  That is how it looked at the Best Buy I was in a week or so ago.  No Switch, Playstation or XBox availlable.  Also, you can buy these systems online, but they are all well above the MSRP.

Going into Black Friday all of the hardware looks to be cleaned out.  I expect that whatever stock is put out during Black Friday will sell out fast.

The Switch and Xbox Series S are available on walmart site and other online retailers.

That switch link is on Walmart site but is from a reseller and above MSRP.

As has already been said, the Switch is above MSRP and from a reseller.

The interesting thing about the Series S is that entry says you can buy it in stores on Black Friday, which suggests that it is currently sold out in most/all of their stores.  Amazon has the Series S listed at $369.  Perhaps Walmart online actually has a few available in stock still or maybe they are just letting you order from their Black Friday supply early?  Either way, there are not a whole lot of even the Series S available much less any of the other systems.

Maybe what you see is based on your location? This is what I see? Even went to checkout and it appears that that walmart store only has 1 more in stock if I went with the pickup option.

Yeah pickup isn't available for me on the Series S but it does say that 

"You can also buy this Black Friday item in stores starting
 Friday, Nov 26, 5AM local time"
Maybe they're saving the store stock for BF?

Right now 2022 is looking like another decent enough year. Switch should be over 120 million by the end of next year. 

Yep, next year is looking like a really good year for 1st/2nd party titles.

Pokemon Legends, Splatoon 3 & Breath of the Wild 2 should all do 10+ million

Kirby Forgotten Land & Mario Rabbids 2 should do a few million each

Triangle Strategy, Advance Wars & Bayonetta 3 could each hit 1 million.

I doubt we will see another revision next year but we could possibly see a price cut next fall, maybe Lite-$149.99 and OLED-$299.99 with the original model being phased out.

I expect sales to be down but we could see another 20+ million year.

If there were a price drop I wouldn't expect Lite to drop to $149.99. More likely a tiny drop to $179.99 or $169.99. Either OG Switch dropped $249.99 or it gets phased out. While OLED as you said would drop to $299.99.

Yeah that could just be wishful thinking on my part, I want to get each of my kids their own Lite but would like them to be as cheap as possible lol
