So the monthly got updated.
As I've been saying, it's clear Amazon is pointing the PS4 as the winner this month, considering the movement and not early pre-orders.

Not only on Amazon, but almost everywhere PS4 showed stronger sales, it was the most popular console in US this month, online at least.

Now for NPD taking in consideration pre-orders it's hard to tell the winner.

Either way, PS4 just beat XBO in USA during Halo month, that's pretty telling, there will be no comeback (as it should be the most common thought I guess) even on USA. (poor tiffac xP)

Quite the drastric change from the previous generation.

I will say competed strongly with Xb one. I'm probably not going to call a winner for this month, I'll wait and see what NPD brings. We just have no idea how the Halo bundle pre-orders have fared across all retailers. Word of Mouth for Halo has not been universally high praise, a lot of people have a few issues with the game, while still being generally positive over all. This would tend to mean people taking their time to buy the game rather than picking it up in the first few weeks, which could mean a lower peak and longer tail for the sales pattern. It will be interesting to do a sales analysis comparing the first 6 months of each main Halo game once Halo 5 hits the 6 month mark. By the look of the commitment to a better performance with the charts we should get that 6 month's of sales information not that long after Halo 5 has been on the market for 6 months.
