Let me get this streight..

All the chear and gloom in this thread is based on Amazon hourly and yearly charts?

Well, where were you guys the rest of the November?

why not, this again shows that almost equally priced console, ps4 has the advantage over xbox one even if it is more expensive than xbox one.  The only reason xbox stayed ahead the rest of november is because ps4 didn't have any deals to counter the super value xbox one+ price cut.

399 ps4 with 2 games > 329 xbox one with 2 games

it would actually be a blood bath if SOny matched the deals but as long as they can sell every PS4 they can possibly make at $400 they will keep doing so. When demand starts to drop and they can no longer do that I'm sure they will consider a price drop now. 

They will make so much more money this holiday by keeping the price up. It would have been pointless matching MS as they were going to sell all PS4's regardless (IMO).

Yes I know, I was just reminding him that xbox one was ahead because ps4 didn't have any games included in their regular price, once ps4 got high value games, it's now ahead even if the price is still higher.  it's easy for him to ignored that, the reality is ps4 still has the advantage in terms acceptability by consumers, otherwise, this wouldn't be happening:

399 ps4 bundle > 329 xbox bundle

ps4 is a beast.

xbox one will take November, that's almost guaranteed but everybody know why.

Anecdotal but my local Walmart still has a whole pallet of PS4 BF bundurus and the regular PS4 SKU as well. If they have them still next Friday when it's bonus time I might have to bite.

Anyone with LoU HD, how is the online community? When it first came out I remember watching a stream and it took a group like 5 minutes to find a decent game.

I think people need to chill the hell out with the 'X1' or 'PS4' domination threads based on short-term rankings. It's an epidemic lately. If this thread is a parody of the numerous X1 threads then sorry in advance.

We will find out.

All we know for sure for now : both are doing fantastic.

My gut feeling : X1 is understocked, and that will hurt MS a bit. Sony looks to have SERIOUSLY prepared mass stock for the BF to Xmas weeks.

I think Sony have been very smart, I think they have not only stocked enough for BF, but also the weekend and Cyber Monday. After seeing the difference of stock (It was only one store) Sony had 2x/3x the stock on XBO.

Stock management could be the key to doing good or fantastic numbers.

No idea, I'll let you know when my bundle arrives :D

LBP3+Lego Batman bundle back at #15 btw

Sony obviously didn't want the same stock situation they had last year. (If I recall correctly, it was like winning the lottery to find a PS4 unit, at least until the massive shipment came in just before Christmas.)
