Not surprising. There's nothing really enticing about the PS4 Slim that would warrant a buy over the normal PS4 or Pro. I'm expecting the same/bigger in October with the Gears 4 and Battlefield 1 console releases.

The Slim isn't about enticing people away from the OG or having them upgrade.  It's about getting costs down and selling the PS4 for the cheapest price.  The Pro is what current owners will be upgrading to and those that don't want to pay $399 for a new console, but still want a PS4, will get the Slim. 

Also, if Amazon is anything to go by, I doubt XBO will win Oct.  Even if it does, it'll be close like Sept was.  The Gears bundle will do well, but I have not seen any indication that the BF1 bundle is doing well anywhere online. 

Well it could be close. But they still pulled it out.
