Both the Xbox Series X|S consoles and the PS5 have been out for several year now. However, the PlayStation 5 is expected to remain suffering from stock shortages until 2023. Thus, it is not very likely that there will be discounts for Sony's flagship console during Black Friday 2022. Chances are fair though that you will be able to save some bucks on the Xbox Series X this time around. 

That said, there will definitely be some good deals on the Xbox Series S, as it's is not as popular as the Series X, meaning that its stock situation is far more favorable. If you are not in a rush to update to a next-generation console, you will be able to find deals on the previous generation as stores typically take advantage of Black Friday to clear their older stock. You should also be able to find discounts on Xbox and PlayStation accessories, such as controllers, headsets, and compatible third-party SSD storage devices.

For those more into family fun and vintage memories, you may want to keep an eye out for deals on the Nintendo Switch OLED.
