There were rumors of an XBone SO bundle restock tomorrow, so its impact remains to be seen. 

Are any of the LBP3/GTAV/FC4 bundles launching with the games tomorrow?

I think both bundles are for Black Friday only.

PS4 + TLOUR + GTAV $399
PS4 + LBP3 + LEGO $399

Far Cry 4 bundle didn't exists in US.

Forget the console wars, I just want to pick up one of these PS4 bundles for my brother.

PS4 bundles are for when matters...

Black Friday is when the sales happens in November.

Not sure when, but GTAV/TLOS and LBP3/LegoBatman bundles are coming.  At 399

They need to hurry them up, or they will lose November by default imho.


A day or two of those bundles will undo all that the X1 managed the whole month.

Well, right now, X1 took week 1 and looks like it will squeak out week 2. The bundle restocks should help them get another bump, but I would find it odd if they didn't play their hand already. From a psychological perspective, it seems unlikely that the 2nd/3rd/nth bundle restock will garner the same excitement/generate the same momentum as the 1st. BF is BF, and the X1 may have just moved a lot of sales forward. We would be foolhardy to dismiss the impact of the lower price, though.

X1 sales went up for a few reasons, but most were temporary bumps.  Even the cut is labeled "temporary" by them to motivate sa;es right away not later.  Its a few bumps waring of already, back to normal more or less.

It seems to have normalized to a marginal lead for X1; I think the X1 restocks (rumored for tomorrow) will tell us a lot about what to expect for BF and moving forward. I'm honestly still surprised that Sony didn't bite the bullet and match the "temporary" price cut, at least for new bundles.

I see updates stop when things are not so rosy for the xbox supporters.
X1 will "lose" november amazon as it will NDP.


#11 XB1 Asscreed
#13 PS4
#37 XB1 Kinect Asscred
#52 PS4 White Destiny

Still rosy, just not that rosy like 3th November anymore...


Nothing rosy when a 399 PS4 is matching a X1 at 350 and 2 free games.


Okay we start to spin now. Nahh thanks, im out in that case...

Lol perfect response

They are not blind, they see why it sold and know its no reason to react.

They have BF bundles with two games at 399, thats more then they need.

Even for consoles BF is only about 50% of the whole month. (overall retail is 20% for that weekend)
So both matters (the same). And it is still weird Sony don't have the GTA V bundle tomorrow when the game release..

So in the end, maybe Amazon will see an upset? How could tell... NPD is getting more exciting by the minute, only to be dumped by no numbers... at least we will be able to acertain what they are about going by PR spin needed.

You need to check data...

Week 1: 170k

Week 2: 320k

Week 3: 300k

Week 4: 1060k

1060k / 1850k = 57%

That using the VGC data because if you use the real NPD data for this November 2011 you will be close to 60%.

 

What matters is the BF week... the diference in the prévios erros US do small to account for something like right now Xbone is 100k over PS4 in US? That is 10% of the sales in BF week.
