#88 - PS4 Destiny bundle

Given that Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas are two of the biggest shopping days of the year and the PS4 bundles were just slashed, we may be in for a photo finish. It will be interesting to see how these standing shake out. How often do they usually update?

Amazon stopped offering delivery before Christmas on Monday. Safe to say that if most people that wanted to give an X1 or PS4 as a present after Monday bought at a brick and mortar store. Day after Christmas is big for brick and mortar because of gift cards and returns. Not so much at Amazon.

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

With the DDOS attacks, it appears that all we have are bricks for Christmas and the day after lol.

Didn't say it doesn't have an impact, I said it doesn't negate the last 23 days. And don't compare it to Black Friday, isn't anywhere near the same.

I also reiterate, PS4 was leading by a smidgin, not a massive gap.

And wasn't PS4 ahead on Black Friday? Yet look at November NPD results.

For all of those reasons, I expect a narrower X1 win than November.

XB1 is ahead of PS4 on Boxing day (a big day you claim) moreso than PS4 was ahead of XB1 on xmas eve.

What say you?

I'm still saying X1 wins December. Do you think Asshat Squad and their DDOS shenanigans will dampen sales, until this blows over?

I would hope not, but the news is on most major media outlets now, and the idiots were stupid enough to interview the famewhores at LS.

This is a great opportunity to find out how good Amazon is to predict margins. If X1 wins by a bigger margin in December, Amazon wins as best prediction tool :)

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Pretty sure Xbox Live is up and running. At least it is for me and my friends list.

If you follow the mess on Gamespot, you can get a sense of who's down on PSN or X1 and where. From the looks of it, XBL is in a far more stable state than PSN right now.
