Forums - Gaming Discussion - Does XB1 still have any chance of winning October NPD?

Considering right now Amazon ranking look like this:

10- PS4 Battlefront LE Bundle (November)

19- PS4 TLOU Bundle

22- PS4 Uncharted Bundle

25- PS4 Destiny Bundle

38- XB1 Halo 5 Bundle

40- PS4 CoD Bundle (November)

63- PS4 Battlefront Bundle (November)

79- XB1 Gears Bundle

Now I've come to terms with the fact that PS4 will take November and December for sure. 

But seeing how there's 3 October PS4 bundles topping the charts before the first XB1 bundle even shows up, October is also looking like a lost cause. I thought it was bad when PS4 won NPD when Titanfall launched but not winning NPD when Halo 5 Launches will be a hard punch to the gut.

Maybe MS can do a limited 3 day price drop when Halo 5 launches to perhaps $250 to make sure they win October NPD.

Halo 5 has yet to release so yes I still think that the X1 could win October NPD ...



Halo backed up with a strong marketing campaign could push it ahead. I'd say yes, it has a chance of winning



Honestly I don't and that's because of that overpriced Halo 5 bundle. If it were $400, they would have won hands down but I don't think they will.



"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"

Anything is possible with another pricecut of $50 or more. No pricecut, no chance.

The diehard Halo fans have already bought an Xbox One for the MCC, so a new Halo won't have as much impact as a result.

Drop 100 bucks just to 'win'?!

I hardly think the higher ups at Microsoft care too much about winning npd, more about selling as many as they can even if it's less than ps4



Halo 5 bundles won't even move until October 27, 2015,

Still have a chance? Haha what.... Of course halo 5

I got to say I love your confidence in Xbox One winning the month. I feel like you know about some crazy price cut that are coming that we don't. I think too MS might win, but it needs to be a lot cheaper to win
