So that 140K is for the Halo week launch, but the 1TB Halo Bundle was launched on the 20th of October. So that will mean that the week before was even stronger for Xbox One in the US.

Given VGC has the whole month for Xb one at just 295K I can't imagine they have the week of the 20th being all that big. You've basically got 155K of console sales to split across 3 weeks. If you gave 100K to the week of the 20th, that would make the previous 2 weeks just 27.5K a piece, averaged. I dunno, maybe Xb one slumped for 2 weeks before Halo 5. You could expect a dip for a week or two before a game as big as Halo 5 launches. But not that much. I also doubt the 20th week is higer than the actual Halo launch week. I'd be more inclined to give the 20th week 70-80K and the previous 2 weeks at least 40K.

That's assuming VGC isn't undertracking by a large amount. Add another 50K to the Xb one US monthly total and you can  have 2 weeks over 100K for the Halo effect. And pretty much a tie for October between PS4 and Xb one.

If I recall correctly Xbox One was doing horribly in the first two weeks on the amazon thread. Even though the Halo bundle was not doing too good for the first 2 weeks. From the amazon thread we have:

Week 1 (Oct. 5 - 11)

PS4 Destiny bundle: #22
PS4 LE Star Wars bundle: #23*
PS4 TLoU bundle: #25
PS4 NDC bundle: #36
XBO Halo 5 bundle: #38
PS4 LE COD bundle: #57*
New 3DS XL: #88
XBO Madden bundle: #91
XBO Gears bundle: #96

Week 2 (Oct. 12 - 18)

XBO Halo 5 bundle: #19
PS4 TLoU bundle: #26
PS4 NDC bundle: #30
PS4 LE Star Wars bundle: #40*
PS4 COD bundle: #59*
XBO Forza bundle: #89
New 3DS XL: #92

Week 3 Oct. 19 - 25)

PS4 NDC bundle: #13
XBO Halo 5 bundle: #22
PS4 LE Star Wars bundle: #28*
PS4 COD bundle: #50*
PS4 Basic Star Wars bundle: #65*
XBO Gears bundle: #67
XBO Forza bundle: #100

Week 4 (Oct. 26 - Nov. 1)

PS4 NDC bundle: #11
PS4 COD bundle: #19*
XBO Kinect bundle: #23
PS4 LE Star Wars bundle: #24*
XBO Halo 5 bundle: #42
PS4 Basic Star Wars bundle: #49*
XBO Gears bundle: #46
XBO Fallout 4 bundle: #66
XBO Madden bundle: #68
XBO Forza bundle: #86
New 3DS XL: #91

In week 1, the bundles that would have counted for the week are at 91 and 96. For week 2 the bundle that would have counted are at 89.

Even amazon "suggest" that week 1 and 2 were probably weak. But with the pre order for the Halo Bundle, to me it feels like week 3 might have been bigger than week 4 or closer than 100k vs 140k
