Poll Prediction: The best selling console of the 2020 holiday season will be... (63 votes)

PlayStation 5 41%
XBox Series X|S 10%
Nintendo Switch 49%

... Nintendo Switch, and it won't even be close. That's right, the new consoles won't slow it down. PS5 will hold up well in Europe, but Switch is gonna slaughter the competition in North America and Asia. To be fair though, lack of stock for PS5 will be part of the reason, but all 3 systems are sold out right now anyway so it's not like any of them have the stock to meet demand.

What do you think?

Probably the Nintendo Switch as I think the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are mostly going to be supply constrained.

Nintendo got a one week headstart if you include the beginning on November.

Due to supply limits from both PS5/XSX, this victory really goes to Nintendo Switch despite the Switch was release back in early 2017 and this year with no supply limits just gives the Switch justify victory.

Wouldn't matter. The Switch is at its peak, and consoles never hit their peak upon release. Switch would outsell them with or without supply constraints.

If there was more stock... The PS5 would sell more.

Its a stock issue, I have been trying to get a PS5 since it launched in the UK and have zero luck in doing so.

Switch is also supply-constrained right now. You can't get it at MSRP online in the US.

It seems like there are more Series X available than PS5s. I even saw stock amount for Gamestop in which there were more Series X than PS5 available. To make matters worse, the digital version is missing in action.

Yeah this holiday SX and/or PS5 might do better due to early adoption from enthusiasts. Although I'd expect SS and Switch to do better under normal circumstances.

My guess would be PS5 and the Switch. As for the xbsex, no one ( except diehard lens) really wants the most powerful paper weight ever created.

The PS5 could win, based on asshole scalpers buying the system. Legitimately, yeah, likely the Switch.

I would have said the Switch, but it seems Sony quietly scrapped their limited release plans and it's sold a ton, so who knows

PS5 for sure, the switch has been out long enough it won’t be a huge seller compared to the new systems.

The one that's actually in stock.

Graphics don't matter.

Resolution doesn't matter.

Only stock matters.

@daredevils2k: No-one except the 1.5 million people who bought it at launch it seems.

Anybody who says anything else than Switch is delusional at this point. Not only is it still a hot item but it's the one that's actually in stock at all times.

@Pedro: If MS doesn't give any sales figures it's a pretty good guess they lost again. ;)

Yeah. I'm guessing Switch>Xbox>PS5 for holiday sales. There just don't seem to be many PS5s making their way to retailers.

This has been Switch's best year, and the first year is almost never the best year for any console.
