To be fair, only one of those models will affect October. Still, I think it will be somewhat close, but the PS4 is going to win Oct. It'll be the first full month of a $299 PS4. Sony will be ramping up advertising as we start getting closer to the holidays and will most likely have more bundles for every taste. Hope they put out a Knack/R&C bundle for younger kids. VR could also cause a slight boost.
Now, November is going to be a bloodbath. Even if MS slightly wins Sept and Oct, November is going to make up for every XBO win this year. We'll have the COD marketing + bundles and the strong possibility of a $249 BF SKU, which will fly off shelves. More importantly, we have the Pro launch, which obviously is going to be bringing in 250K+ all by itself, with 500K+ being likely if preorders keep up like they have, and 750K+ not being impossible. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the PS4 pulls off 1.8M+ in Nov, with XBO probably repeating last year's 1.3M, possibly slightly less.

The point remains. Last year had a different set of factors that favored Xbox. So, it's not about being "fair/unfair", but realistic.

Yes, but you were quoting someone talking about XBO winning Oct and saying it had two new models to compete with. I was just saying that to be fair to his argument, in Oct the XBO will only have to compete with one of those models. If anything, the 2nd model may affect the Slim's sales a bit. Though, I doubt the $299 PS4 price on all SKUs won't be able to overcome that.
