^ this.

People dont seem to realise that multyplats only give the x1 a one week boost and not even that big. The week after sales will go back to awful. The only thing is that on october and november there are a lot of games releasing so we will have to wait untill january to see the real baseline, wich I belive will be around 50k and slowly go down to under 30k in the following 3 months, then a boost for another week when witcher and batman come out, then sad again. But this time it will continue to be bad untill the summer for quantom brake wich will give like a 2-3 week boost then under 40k again untill the holidays.

And now we got the information that new bundles, one with physical mario 3d world + nintendo land and another with Mk8 + nintendoland will release mid september. considering xone is quite overtracked in US, it's weekly baseline is 10k lower than vg chartz currently shows. so it's possible it won't be above wii u even on destiny week. but the new bundles followed by bayo 2 and fatal frame on japan + Hyrule warriors on west on the following weeks will make sure xone won't be ahead of wii u for more than a week or two.

I had no idea about those bundles. I thought for sure that september would go in x1's favor, but if what you say is true then the wii us momentum will just keep going strong. 

But what are the prices for those bundles? Still $300 I hope.

Yup, $299 for the new bundles.
