Regarding October NPD, let's not forget that the 360's stellar performance in September 2007 wasn't solely due to Halo 3. It also received a price cut in August, which provided a further boost. The XBO meanwhile is only getting a Halo boost. Granted, the only thing the PS4 really had going for it this month was a price cut, but it's had more time in the month to benefit from the price cut, and price cuts often give boosts just as good if not better than major system-sellers, plus unlike software the boosts from price cuts tend to last a number of months. I think the PS4 will edge out the XBO, but it won't be a runaway and both systems should have a good performance for the month.

About 12 days for us to discover

It's definitely going to be the most interesting NPD we've had in a while. Halo vs. price cut.

But will be stomped by November and BF on NPD... because pricecut always give a bigger boost than game release, and since PS4 was ahead before pricecut there is no reason for inversion this month... next month depends on BF discounts MS decides to do.
