The odd thing is, initially I had figured Sony would win because it seemed logical that Black Friday was just going to be the starting point for their bundles, i.e. they'd continue to sell them and keep them well stocked throughout the holidays. But judging from Amazon, at least, they don't really seem interested IN trying to compete for holiday sales in the U.S.. o.O They can't even keep the ones they had on Amazon stocked, let alone mix it up a little. Don't know whether it's that they're literally in such dire straits they'd rather profit now on the sales than take even a small hit to compete properly, or if just doing well in the U.S. is enough for them, but again, they don't really seem to be giving it their A-game, especially compared to Microsoft's 'Everything And The Kitchen Sink' approach.

So yeah, if it turns out that Sony is essentially counting on selling their consoles full priced and without free games, Microsoft is pretty likely to win December, barring some gigantic change this weekend. xP Very puzzling.

as far as i can remember they never offered alot of value in NA compared to MS, EU is a different story they got way more great bundles throughout last gen

im sure even if the gta5 tlou bundle was 430 it still would still like hot cakes way after BF had there been more made

That's true. In any case, it is good to see Microsoft making up some lost ground; while I'm not necessarily of the mind that all consoles need to have equal sales to keep one from getting arrogant, I don't want Sony to win ALL the time. xP Especially in a situation like this, where one side's throwing in substantially more cuts/bundles than the other. If the PS4 had still won November despite EVERYTHING Microsoft did, likely would have been like a big signal in the sky saying; "Yeah, we pretty much got this market on lock." =P

Especially now that I am the happy owner of a PS4. :3 I want Sony to feel compelled to work for my monies! WORK FOR DEM!
