That's crazy. Even with all these bundles and price drops, ps4 is still right there and climbing back to its usual spot. All without a price drop or bundle, and the cod bundle is dropping fast with only the ac bundle hanging on and once it releases next week, it too will fall pretty quickly.

Absolutely crazy. I'm now starting to believe that ps4 will actually win November. If that happens, the internet will explode considering Microsoft threw everything and the kitchen sink to try and get a win this month. Plus it should finally convince all the xbots that no matter what Microsoft does this gen, there is no beating the ps4 if this doesn't work.


do u know whats dropping fast means?
from #10 to #16 in 5 days is fast?


just like the white ps4 destiny bundle after realse

septermber:
week 1 #6
week2 #6
(realse of the game)
week3 #7
week4 #18


Bad comparison.The Destiny bundle was in the top 5 from the moment it went on sale to the entire month of September with the regular PS4 sku right behind it.The only Xbox console to be in the top 5 after launch was Titanfall.We all know what happened after that.None of the X1 bundles have been top 5 period other than Titanfall.The X1 never has any standing power and of course the console will increase when its a new sku.How about that standard X1 sku? It never stays in the top 20 lol.

Xbox one will absolutely crush ps4 in November. The sold out SO bundle alone outsold ps4 ...

The more it sells, the more they lose. The percentage of market share they may gain by doing this in the short run won't justify the loss.


So what, 50$ loss or so is a big deal to them! No it isn't.

I believe they know better than you do about that (bold) :)
More marketshare = more game, live, accessory sales = more money at the end...


If it was this obvious both companies would be giving theyre consoles for free. MS is taking a very very big loss here but theyre bazilionaire so they cna aford to take such a loss. Its a gamble, and in the hourly charts only 1 bundle is ahead of the PS4 now the other 3 have dropped bellow it so the amount of ppl buying is decreasing.

It's $50 multiplied by the number of consoles they sell.

And if each person buys Halo with Xbox Live? As it shows in the "Frequently bought with this Item" list.

Exactly they are still making profits. Not as many people would have bought a X1 are this price, however now with this price cut they are purchasing a game and a subscription

Well the COD bundle is dropping fast with the PS4 going back up.AC bundle will drop after it releases too and November will be the same as September and October.


Saddest thing about this post is that you don't know the AC bundle actually released BEFORE the COD one

With the way the hourlies have been going the last day or so I expect SO bundle to drop out soonish and PS4 to climb into the top 20. But I'm not sure PS4 will be able to drag itself past the CoD bundle, even though it's ahead of it now on the hourlies, because it will have built up a pretty substantial head start. Looks like Ass Cred bundle is shaping to be the highest HW for at least the first half of the month.

I wonder when Amazon will restock with vanilla Xb one's and what effect that will have on the bundle sales.
