Its winning the hourlies but the monthlies still show PS4 ahead, so I think people are waiting, perhaps for bundles and sales are not that great right now, or at least on amazon to make a difference.

Dont get me wrong I do think people are waiting for PS4Pro, and I think gears is definately selling a few consoles, but at the moment its all a bit quiet, I think Sony will have a final PS4OG sale in USA before the new console bundles and thats when I think we'll see the big difference happen.

Ignore the initial monthly result. Right now the XB1 is leading consistantly in the hourlies and if it stays that way the XB1 will win Oct. That's the current 'trend' for the hourlies and we won't know how consistant that trend is until a couple of weeks in. The next test of that trend will be when Gears actually releases. Will we see a continuation of the XB1 winning or will it slide once the initial buzz has gone? And as we get closer to the PS4pro launch, will less people buy the PS4slim (which affects this month) and opt to wait for the PS4pro (which affects next month)?

But, if I had to call it now (which would be premature) I'd say an XB1 win.

We are pretty much agreeing, which is, its too early too tell considering there is so much more than the first week Gears of War boost to consider this month. I dont think we are disagreeing here. I think we wont know much better until the 3rd week, just because of everything going on.
