Prediction: PS4 will win all the holiday's NPD even without new E3 announcements nor an official price cut.

You're wrong about Call of Duty, that's not going to Sony, despite the rumors. However, I wholeheartedly agree with the Star Wars Battlefront partnership. This alone could secure the holiday season for Sony. Star Wars is massive, it has massive mainstream appeal and with the the movie and merchandise launching, this is an epic win for Sony.

battelfront is a shooter
shooter are heavily favoured on xbox. the software impact for the marketing deal won't be big (nearly non existend in the us). bundle impact will depend on the pricepoint and what console will be offered. special edition. different color etc...

Lol, the impact of the bundle is going to be massive, take a look at the effect Destiny had. And of course it's going to be a special edition.

i won't be as big as the destiny bundle effect unlike they'll go at a very agressive pricepoint last year september was totally different with the fist white console. extremely hyped game and many hardcore gamer not on "nextgen" already
this year a (possible - or is anything announced already) battelfront bundle has to take a different audience. it also has to compete with blackfriday bundles and offers. no the impact won't be massive. not even close to the destiny bundle impact. to have an massive impact, the bundle alone need to sell about 500k units + 1m regular ps4 skus in november npd, to be on the safe side to beat xb1 sales.

edit: last year the GTAV bundle sold 340k units in november @399. the destiny bundle sold 300k in september @449
