The first half of the month is all PS4. So far PS4 is still leading for the month. But this Halo bundle is now closing in to take the lead. I don't know if the first 2 weeks were enough for the PS4 to already close the "pre order gap". If they did then right now PS4 will be ahead and likely win the month.

But if you look at how the $500 bundle selling so much better than the $350 Xbox One bunble, it is most likely that those are from hardcore fan buying a second Xbx One. 

Those hardcore fan might go crazy in the next 2 weeks and push more hardware then most of us expected. it is already kind of crazy there are buying a second Xbox One just because it is Halo Limited Edition

Yes, but everything you're saying is an assumption, whilst most people in this thread have been assessing the month based on facts. You assume that there are people buying a second XB1 and then go on to say it's crazy that they're buying a second XB1. You assumed something and then responded with a statement as if your assumption was 100% fact. It's still a 'wait and see' situation but it looks more likely (at the moment) that the PS4 will pip the XB1 for this month. It could change of course but there's no point in debating data we don't currently have. We DO know that the pre-orders for the Halo bundle didn't do as well as the Destiny bundles and we also know that the Halo bundle has been easily outsold this month, until now. Pre-orders are going to be the deciding factor.

I never take my assumption as a 100% fact. What I say is that if the $500 Xbox One is selling so much better and ahead of the those other cheaper Xbox One bundle, then I think that 'most likely' most of those sales are coming from hardcore Halo fan base. I am not stating that has a fact but as something that could explain the current situation

And people have being "assuming" a lot that most people  who wanted Halo have already bought a Xbox One when the bundle was not selling that good. Well if this "assumption" were to be true, then there is high probability that those same people who already bought and Xbox One to play Halo, the most hardcore among them may be getting a second Xbox One. Which would explain why only the Halo Xbox One Bundle is on a noticeable  rise. 4 days ago the Halo bundle was at 40 in the hourly. Today it reached 16, 4 days away from the launch of the console and still 11 days from the launch of the game. The bundle is showing a lot growth in the hourly and as days pass its looking like it is going to get ahead of the PS4 soon .I know still and assumption but this what we do in this thread, looking at the numbers, trending and different assumptions while the month is still yet to end to decide a winner. And before this month started I think most of 'assumed' this was going to be an easy win for the Xbox One.
