PS4 price cut on Oct 9 was visible from a mile away. I'd be shocked if XBOX execs didn't expect it.
If Microsoft is going to do a price cut, they'll drop $50 right before Halo releases. The $500 bundle releases on the 20th so Microsoft will have a few days selling that at full price. Probably will have the price cut go into effect on the 26th.
Personally though it's pretty hard to tell if Microsoft is focused on profit or market share this year. The bundles are a worse value than last holiday so that either means they're doing another price drop or they can't afford another holiday with crazy deals.
