On the same day Steam is expected to start their Autumn sale, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and EA have each revealed what games they are offering up for sale for the holidays. Note that they may also be offering even more sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but they have some good deals on offer before that.
