Check out where to buy the PS5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox in time for Christmas
A new console under the tree all but guarantees a happy Christmas, but there’s less than a week’s time before the big day. If you’re looking to buy a PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch this holiday, I recommend ordering one ASAP.
Other than the PlayStation Portal (check out our PlayStation Portal restock guide if you’re looking for this handheld) all the big consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are still in stock at most retailers. Amazon indicates whether orders will arrive in time for Christmas, plus you can get next-day delivery with Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, Best Buy offers 2-day shipping with My Best Buy Plus and Walmart offers free delivery with Walmart Plus.
Keep scrolling to see all the consoles that are available and who’s delivering in time for the holidays. For more sales, check out the best holiday deals at Amazon this week.

Nintendo Switch: $299 @ Amazon
Despite its age, the Nintendo Switch is still a highly sought after console. While most of 2020 was plagued by Switch shortages, it's gotten easier to find a Switch console in stock these days. Just keep in mind that because of its popularity, Switch deals (on the console itself) are extremely rare.
