When it comes to console discounts, the Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals have been the standout this year. Yes, the console has been around longer than both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but with near-constant demand for Nintendo’s nifty hybrid home and handheld console, we could easily have seen stock shortages or only minor discounts.
Instead, there have been some excellent bundles that have paired the console with some of the best Nintendo Switch games.
Microsoft has done a much better job of keeping its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles available, not just over this Black Friday weekend, but throughout the year. While we’ve seen the full-fat Xbox Series X disappear from some shops, it’s usually been available somewhere.
The real MVP of this week has been the Xbox Series S, the digital-only sibling of the Xbox Series X. Microsoft has discounted the console by $50, and we’ve seen that deal picked up at Amazon, Best Buy (opens in new tab), and Walmart (opens in new tab) all weekend.
Let’s kick things off with the best Cyber Monday PS5 deals we’ve seen so far. In the case of Sony’s console, we aren’t just flagging the (admittedly few) discounts available, but also giving shout-outs to which retailers have the hardware in stock. After all, it’s still surprisingly hard to lay your hands on one of the machines.
