Well, so much for Amazon's perfect record. But like I said in that thread, people weren't looking at all the factors for XB1 to win.

It is worth pointing out that the Halo 5 bundle did rank #24 for September. That means there were a lot of preorders that carried over to October. When preorders for bundles are involved the ranks for just the month those bundles release doesn't mean much. Here's what Amazon gives us:

PS4 NDC bundle: #19
XBO Halo 5 bundle: #25 (plus #24 in Sept.)
PS4 TLOUR: #49
PS4 Destiny TTK bundle: #59
XBO Gears bundle: #77

There was only six spots between the NDC bundle and Halo 5 bundle. That's close enough to where the #24 placement from September for the H5 bundle could, when combined with October H5 bundle sales and sales of the Gears bundle, surpass combined NDC, TLOU, and Destiny bundle sales.

It was August. And yes, I know that. I brought it up plenty of times in the thread.

You had it at a close PS4 win but that doesn't really matter.
