Preorder means ordering something BEFORE it comes out. If event A comes before event B, and A has not happened yet, event B never happened yet either.

Xbox one standard sku is 400/500;with/without kinect if you were to just walked into a target. But they will get their priced slashed on nov 2.

The price drop has already gone into effect on Amazon. 

Xbox One Assassin's Creed Unity Bundle

The scary thing is the PS4 is still right there with them without a bundle or a price drop.

It's just hourly best sellers. Let's wait a week or two before calling it "crushing" the ps4. Forza horizon 2 launched a month ago and fell out of the top 100 a week later or so. Sunset overdrive is already around pos 60 and steadily falling just 5 days since its release. Not to mention forza horizon 2 didn't even chart last npd.

And of course all the xbots saying how sells numbers don't matter all year long are now suddenly going ape shit at the prospect of Xbox one finally winning a month of sales. Typical of the Xbox crowd.

Considering the bundles RELEASE on November 2nd, then isn't it fair to say that those who have pre-ordered it will receive it for a cheaper price? =P Amazon does usually have price match guarantees for when stuff like that happens. So as far as the Call of Duty and AC bundles are concerned, the price cut might as well have just happened, because everyone who pre-ordered it will have 350-plus-tax taken off of their credit cards, not 400 plus tax. If it was the latter, we'd be seeing the bundle pre-orders on Amazon tanking for no other reason than people's be waiting the five days to buy it outright. =P

December.

Anyway, on the original topic, I do mostly agree. I say mostly because, to be blunt, there's been two times before where Microsoft seemed to have an awesome chance of winning the month (super-de-duper hyped Titanfall launch and pre-ordered Kinectless SKU launch respectively,) and Sony beat them anyway, (in the case of June, I don't think they HAD any sales boosting events to counter Microsoft's Kinectless launch, so their baseline literally beat the Xbox One's sales spike,) so while I think their chances are definitely very in November good, I'm still hesitant to make any guarantees. o.o;

But the question is whether that momentum will maintain itself in January, after the price drop ends; I know Spencer said all the other months don't matter, but at this point, even CLOSING the million unit gap in the U.S. in just two months would be a long shot, because regardless of how big the Xbox One's boost is, it's not like the PS4 is likely to see a sales slump during the holidays. The Xbox One making its OWN gap in those months is even less likely. So if they go right back to losing January through to October again, then come this time next year, Sony might have built up a million unit gap all over again, turning this into a game of sales leapfrog. =P So contrary to what he says, hopefully they have a gameplan after the holiday season ends.

And those sku's are not selling at all. All the sales are going to the $350 bundles, so the $50 price cut is fully in effect regardless of when the buyer will receive their console.

Yes I expect Xb one to win NPD for Nov.

PS4 killed it again in Oct, and I expect Dec to be pretty even.

I'm just glad MS is making an effort to really boost sales. What would be scary is letting sales dwindle.

A more scary scenario is letting the platform die like Vita. Better specs and they aren't even trying to compete with 3DS. I salute MS for simply trying.

I think that's the 6th time I've seen you post that.
