4 hours since update:

#15 PS4 TLOUR Bundle (same)*
#16 PS4 Star Wars Bundle (down 4)
#24 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (same)*
#34 PS4 Destiny Bundle (up 6)*
#35 XB1 Halo Bundle (up 6)
#45 PS4 Black Ops Bundle (down 8)
#68 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (down 12)
#93 XB1 Gears Bundle (down 7)
#95 XB1 Forza Bundle (down 1)

PS4 - 6
XB1 - 3

* Note that the 3 bundles that DO effect this month are still above the Halo bundle. Also note that only having 1 bundle above the XB1 has been enough to give the PS4 a win in NPD. If it stays like this until the 27th and is close for the remainder of the month, the PS4 will win October by quite a margin.

We still have to take into account that halo bundle has been up for pre order since August.

Halo 5 bundle was #24 for the month of August when pre orders went live, however in September it failed to make the top 100 for the monthly. And now only recently it's started to do ok, plus taking into account what abdiel said yesterday on gaf, pre orders aren't that impressive when compared to Destiny 2014 ps4 bundle. 

 

With halo 5 being the only decent charting Xbox sku this month while the others are barely hanging on in the 80s and 90s, I think it's safe to say PS4 will take the month. Or at least be a close 10k-20k. And let's be honest, a small gap like that in halo 5 month would still be viewed as a loss considering, well it's halo. 

 

Edit: just checked out the monthly and ps4 has three skus ahead of halo 5, two count towards this month, while halo is a distant #44.
