Well, it seems the XBO won October NPD. But does that prove Amazon's track record wrong? Not necessarily. Let's look at the final October rankings, not including preorders of November-release bundles and with the addition of rankings of preorders of bundles that went on sale in October:

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

It appears that the Halo 5 bundle ranking #24 in September was, when added to the October tally, enough to drive the XBO to victory. And that's why Teeqoz and I decided that having the preorders from previous months of new bundles added to the OP was important information.

Yeah, in the spirit of an Amazon prediction, I'd have to say it was wrong, but the post discussions will obviously reveal that the PS4 actually sold more in October than the XB1, unless people want to believe that two months of preorders only amounted to 30k.

What do you mean by that?  Do things change further after NPD?  I'd always thought it was the end all when it came to US sales?
