And......Microsoft wins Octobers NPD as I said. Its time to stop underestimating the power of Halo and Tomb Raider helped. Sony has no defense for Microsoft outside of their hype. If they fight back its purely on hype right now.

That's not why MS won. Halo did little and TR did not (and won't) help. The reasons are clearly laid out in the op.

Of course it did. Before Halo dropped Microsoft was struggling against Sony. This was one month guaranteed in America that Microsoft would win. Sony has no answer for Halo or anything in fourth quarter in general. Next year? Sure. The rest of this year? All hype. 

The price of bundles are nearly even, especially at black friday.
