Weekly sales for the PS4 were like 200k but the lifetime sales went up 400k.

Wonder if they finally assigned the last of the sales from the 10 million announcement's missing 700k.

Either way, after the last few weeks of the Xbox One releasing in multiple countries, the PS4 in back to total domination.

Are their any other factors that could allow the Xbox One to overtake the PS4 for one week of the year?

Could the Master Chief Collection or Sunset Overdrive do it for exclusives? Or will Call of Duty bundles manage to push the Xbox One ahead?

Nope, just weekly sales + post NPD adjustments. VGC was undertracking the PS4 for the month of september by almost 120k. And if you see 11.4 on the home page and then you see 11.8..... it doesn't actually mean that the PS4 is up 400k. eg

11,440,000 is wriiten on the front page as 11.4
+320,000 it becomes 11,760,000.
What you see on the front page for that will be 11.8

I think the only realistic things that could allow the XB1 beat the PS4 for a week this year is Halo:MCC. Thats the only thing that has a small chance but I don't personally think it would. The COD:AW bundle happens to cost $500. The PS4 has even outsold the XB1 when it practically cost $50 more. I don't think a $500 XB1 will somehow outsell the PS4. I even think COD:AW will sell better on the PS4.

That's a given, it will be close in the US, and Europe + ROW will make the difference
