BF is quite a tricky event to this thread.
BF is HUGE on retail stores, so even if PS4 is winning on online stores right now, and end losing BF, the cheer amount ot retail sales can in a single day beat the whole month before it on online stores.
I remember someone posting BF sales of last year and it was like half of more of what NPD claimed for the whole month.
BF can seriously turn things aside, the better price/deal on retail stores can really change things.
Calling it to be in the bag to MS right now, though... completely unreasonable. It may also lose BF.
It'll have to win BF big time like last year, and last year it was cheaper than the PS4 and coming from the price cut effect that had been already big the whole month, so it's hardly happening like that this year. But it's BF, it's wait and see.

So then you are saying that its not assured a victory, but that it needs to take BF to stand a chance at all. And being as though Sony has BF deals too, Microsoft has to massively outperform them on BF to take it. If the sales are really that intense, anything can happen.

It was about half of each respective system's total sales last year, but the X1 also won every November week last year. Sony should win every other week this year, if it loses BF (due to preorder sales for CoD [week 1] and SW [week2] and the apparent lead for stock sales). Who knows what MS will offer this BF, but it's hard to imagine that they can have the same incentive differentiators again (last year's Sony offers weren't even close).
