if Sony drops the price will Microsoft follow?

October I could understand, due to Halo, but November? Sony has the Battlefront bundle and marketing rights, CoD marketing rights (an the inevitable bundle). If the two consoles are sold at the same price it's gonna be hard for MS to win november.

Aren't CoD and Battlefield more successful on Xbox usually ?

I expect Tomb Raider to be quite big, Fallout 4 too (Bethesda games usually ony do good on xbox as far as home consoles are concerned) and a few games released previously should have an effect (forza 6, gow hd).

I dunno bout Battlefield, but probably yes, Battlefront is a new IP though (and the PS4 has an exclusive bundle with it that includes a Darth Vader themed PS4), despite the similarities it has with Battlefield. CoD has usually had Xbox exclusive advertising, now it has Playstation exclusive advertising (and with it the...sigh...20 days timed exclusive DLC...) Forza 6 will hardly make a difference in the US in September, much less in November. Last november, the XBO was 50$ cheaper, had both CoD and Assassin's Creed marketing rights (both of which Sony has this year), and it had The Master Chief Collection. If it this november is the same price, and Sony has CoD, Battlefront and Assassin's Creed marketing rights, vs XBO's Fallout marketing and Tomb Raider timed exclusivity, I just don't think it'll be enough, especially when you consider that the PS4 has outsold the XBO in the US every month but april so far this year despite being 50$ more.
