It's not that clean cut and anecdotal evidence tells us nothing. It could simply be that MS have put out far more stock because of Halo. It's going to be close until the very end of the month and then we have to consider pre-orders of the Halo Bundle. The PS4 had a comfortable lead over the XB1 in the monthly charts but the bundle that lead is now the bundle that's out of stock. The bundle that currently leads (Uncharted bundle) is behind the XB1 and so any sales of that bundle will only close the gap and with the gap at the top being so small I highly doubt by any significant amount. However, the gap between the Halo bundle and the bundle that leads in the hourlies (TLOUR bundle) is huge, which could lead to the Halo bundle eventually overtaking it in the monthlies. To sum up: Halo is going to catch up with the TLOUR bundle far quicker than the Nathan Drake bundle is going to catch up with the Halo bundle, and then we have to add in pre-orders. That's what I meant when I said Sony have given away this month. Given a consistant flow of TLOUR bundles, the PS4 would now still have two bundles in the top 20, one of which would be in the lead (and so widen the gap on the monthlies) and the other would have been just behind the XB1 doubling up on the likely possibility that the PS4 would take the month. That would have offset the preorders more significantly. Things have now changed because TLOUR bundle is out of stock. I'm now inclined to believe the XB1 will win the month. We don't know the preorder numbers though. If they're really low then the PS4 might still stand a chance, but if they're good to excellent then I think the XB1 will win. |
I doubt its more stock since its the same skus sitting that have been there since the summer and I alredy explained about the pe orders.If they were so high then the bundle would already be out of stock since it is limited.Every month I have seen less PS4s in the store than Xboxs the PS4 sold more including the summer and last month so why would it be any different just because of one bundle?The Halo 5 bundle will probabbly only account for 5-10% of the Xboxs sales this month at most,which means all the other skus would have to sell and they have not seen a boost on amazon or in store.You keep missing the point that the PS4 skus have already sold and there are 3 different skus both in store and online,while the Xbox only has one sku.The Halo bundle is not unlimited and you are not realizing that fact.If all the other skus are not higher than how would the Xbox possibly sell more?
