September will go to Sony if they have a strong Metal Gear push. If Microsoft doesn't win October with Halo 5 releasing then there is something very very wrong. November will probably be Sony with Battlefront and COD bundles. December is up in the air.

Don't take the bet, you'll lose for certain. You do realise that the PS4 won last Christmas don't you?

PS4 price drop is likely too it seems, it could do jsut like X1 last year with deals on AC bundle and COD+ star wars
COD is only strong on xbox because htey have the exclusive deals, the annual fans, those who will want to play first the DLC for competition( very important to them) will buy it on PS4, so it will have a much stronger effect on PS4, just like it had on X1 last year.

You'll be very surprised by battlefront then, even more by the double effect with movie marketing, you underestimate Star Wars fans !

Unless they have even crazier deals than last year, i dont see them winning

September is Sony's easily.

Reverse may happen in October.

November will be more fierce than it ever has been in quite some time for consoles. Either has the potential to take this month.

December should be Sony's, but not by much.


Overall though, Sony sadly cannot win all of the holiday based NPD's. If anything, November is a month that I really would like to compare to years past to see how well it stacks up against some of the all time greats. Time will tell though.

Yeah, but is most likely in September the PS4 pricedrop for me, and still, MS is just more crazy than Sony with the deals, you know.

Well, we will see, but as i already said, don't be so sure...

And i will go with 3m sold in Nov NPD for Battlefront... Considering Advanced Warfare sold 4.7m, seem right.

Nope lol I am talking about feelings here. Actually, I would love to be wrong on this one and see PS4 emerge victorious.

Yep, but last Xmas didn't have a Halo and that is one of the best selling franchises in videogame history. I am not sure if Halo's selling strength will be completely there for this new entry but it should help Xbone a lot. I can't see other franchise helping Xbone as much as Halo, apart from a very important 3rd party exclusive or Minecraft 2 exclusive.

I never take sales bets. XD I can't trust other people on the integrity of my account but thank you for the advice. I might as well be wrong and Sony owns Xmas as well and I won't be sad at all for that. :)

Battlefront game of E3 for IGN too :) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeFsP_ijjzQ

Maybe with a price cut and enough stock.

This. Plus there is a very good chance that Microsoft will underutilize aka waste their Fallout 4 / Tomb Raider marketing / exclusivity deal. Its what they have done with other third party games.
