Another monthly update:

#19 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (up 1)
#25 XB1 Limited Edition Halo Bundle (no movement)
#26 PS4 Limited Edition Star Wars Bundle (no movement)*
#39 PS4 Limited Edition Black Ops Bundle (up 3)*
#49 PS4 TLOUR Bundle (down 4)
#59 PS4 Limited Edition Destiny Bundle (down 2)
#77 XB1 Gears Bundle (up 3)
#89 PS4 Star Wars bundle (up 1)*

*Doesn't count towards October NPD

That is right on the edge of where I think the Halo 5 pre-orders will make up the difference. I said if the gap is less than 5 places the win condition favours Xb one, if it's more than 5 places the win condition favours PS4. To me it's dangerous to confidently assert one or other as the NPD winner. 55%/45%  in favour of PS4 I reckon. If Xb one wins as narrowly as what Amazon implies a Xb one win would be then you would have to say that Halo has largely faile dto have the hardware shifting effect that would have been expected just a few months ago.

Also even though Halo 5 released on 27 Oct, the bundle was available from 20 October, so the hardware effect had 11 days to influence October NPD, not just 4 days..
