“Console hardware sales increased by 3 percent over October 2014,” he said. “This was due entirely to [Xbox One and PlayStation 4] generation sales, which rose by 12 percent to offset the 66 percent decrease in hardware sales for last generation consoles.”

No, no it didn't... and far as PS4 goes we don't know how much of an effect all the bundles intended for november did but less then 304 k regardless of the number means both of them did poor for October. Halo did not push hardware much at all. PS4 price cut didnt push numbers much at all either.

I don't think consoles are dead or anything, its only 1 month. Need to see Nov-March IMO to make any consoles were front loaded doom remarks though.

The bundles dont come out this month...

What happens if it's 2 months of lower than expected sales?

You misunderstood me.  During October the ps4 sold a lot of those bundles aka pre orders.  So those sales are transferred to November.  on top of all that Halo 5 had all its previous pre orders added to October month.  And if that's not enough they slashed the price of the x1 with Kinect by $100 for the final week.  

The PS4 sold more in September than x1 in October. It looks like the taken king had a bigger effect for the ps4 than halo 5.
