To be fair, the Halo bundle has been sold out since that fluky Recore Collector's Deal on Monday, otherwise it would probably be up in the twenties or upper thirties right now, as it was on Sunday when the deal was in its proper form, as in a free game of $59.99 or less. 

The ONLY reason that deal made any difference was because the Recore special edition could be one of the games. That's why the Recore special Edition also appeared in the top 20. So we were looking at an XB1s for $300 with 4 Halo games and a Recore game worth around $140 (can't remember the exact price). That was an anomaly and not a trend, which I knew could not be sustained. MS just threw everything at the PS4 this month and it has only 'perhaps' reduced the ammount the PS4 wins. This is before the Pro launches and the Slim exclusive bundles launch. It just isn't looking good for the XB1s.

Having said that, my opinion isn't set in stone and the one thing I won't do is use subjective thinking in order to combat any possible objective changes.

While it did inflate the effect on Amazon, it clearly wasn't the only reason.
