Nah, they did the smart thing. People are still going to be buying PS4's like crazy. Now, Sony gets max profit off of those sales. What MS has done is forsake profit, since now they are probably taking a loss on some of the XBO SKUs and maybe breaking even on others. Personally, I think that while this has definitely moved some who were on the fence to the XBO, it mostly just moved many sales that would have happened on Black Friday and in Dec to the beginning of Nov. If you look at the sales on Amazon for the XBO, other than the Unity bundle, the others have been out of the Top 20 for days, now. I'm guessing since Unity has already launched, there's a possibility it will follow the same path as the other two SKUs.
You also have to remember that Sony has a PS4 w/ GTA5 and TLOU releasing for Black Friday, with a possibility of it being available for the rest of the season. So, we don't know who that will boost sales. I know that's the bundle I am waiting for. And lastly, I've also been randomly checking Gamestop and Walmart's Bestseller lists, which I believe are hourly, and the PS4 has been ahead of the XBO each and every time I have checked. I think this month is just going to be a little trickier to predict because of the holidays that upset the usually easy to predict trends.
