Earlier today the release date of the Xbox One on its Amazon.com listing was indicated as November the 30th (as you can see from the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMQTVK0/">cached version of the page). Just now it was changed to November the 27th.

While this should still be taken with a grain of salt, there must be a reason behind the sudden change. Whether Amazon got some information from Microsoft or they just decided to change their release prediction on their own, we can’t know.

One thing is for sure: a November the 27th release date would put the console’s launch in a strategic position just before Black Friday (November the 29th).

The release date for the PS4 is still set as December the 31st, evidently a placeholder.

wednesday before black friday. a popular day to release things. ..for some reason.

stealth edit. said thrusday which was wrong.  wednesday is a weird day to release anything...

Interesting. Although I fully expect Xbox One to launch when COD: Ghosts launches.

omg! everybody buy an xbox one from amazon, you save 3 fucking cents!! buy that stuff now!!! its 3 fucking cents!!

look at that shit! 3 fucking cents yo!! imagine all the stuff you could buy with that kind of saving!

Rumor has the ps4 launching nov,13 saw this on another forum it was in a store

If this and the November 13 rumors for the PS4 are both true, expect the PS4 to sell somewhat better and for people to make a big deal out of it.

Amazon might not be the best place to buy consoles but its still one of the best if not the best places to buy video games, movies and books.
