I meant only the holiday months, but still. Even if it lost the next 4 months. I expect a big Drop in US for X1 next year.


Well the line up next year for the x1 is pretty spread out so i would actually expect an increase.

It will also hit $299 officially. But I think PS4 will also go to $299 next year as well, so the effects will largely cancell out, though because of basic momentum PS4 will probably benefit more. Xb one should drop at e3, while Sony will probably wait until Oct, or around the time Horizon launches.

Monthly update. Not final:

#23 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle
#24 XB1 Halo Bundle
#28 PS4 Star Wars Bundle
#40 PS4 TLOUR Bundle
#48 PS4 Destiny Bundle
#49 PS4 Black Ops Bundle
#94 XB1 Gears Bundle

Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... With TLOUR and Destiny entries seems like it have sealed the deal. PS4 won it.

Amazon has a good record of predictions... can almost take this to the bank.

PS4 won it, just waiting for numbers to get released now, to see by how much.

Yeah that console is a special competition console. If they were launching a special it would have been announced already.

In the UK they have a PipBoy skin one.

such a missed chance for a le bundle.

I totally agree... the wife was going to get me one, but when it was just the pipboy skin, I told her not to bother because I wanted the one in the competition. :(.

Considering Amazon and social media have been right every time. It'd be odd if the Xbox One wins.

I also expect a slim with 4k for things like netflix etc.

Hope we get them.... well at least we will get a NPD PR from Sony.

True.  I think there is still a slim possibility of it happening if a larger percentage of people went into retailers to buy the bundle.  Of course, I don't see it winning by more than 50K if it does, which would still be counted as a PS4 victory, since it's a Halo month.  Then, it looks like PS has Nov in the bag with the Star Wars and COD bundles doing so well.  XBO may win Dec, if they are lucky and/or have another firesale.  Though, this year, I think that the most they would be able to gain back from the current gap is 100K-150K.  Of course, that will be wiped away within a few months after the holidays are over.
