The day after Thanksgiving (4th Thursday in November), in 2015, Thanksgiving's Nov 26th.  So, it's the 27th.

Thanks. Quite a way off then. Any idea when the Star Wars Movie releases?

Dec 18th in the US.

Tomb raider is not even in the top 100 I believe (I may be mistaken). This must be worrying times for Square Enix.

Yeah, but we're only 7 days into a 31 day month.

It bothers me when people shut down opinions without really putting a decent argument across but you have proven that you do actually know what you're talking about and not some blind idiot. As it stands right now, October looks like it's in the bag for Sony but I'm still wary of what Halo could do at the end of the month and for the rest of the holiday.

We are all blind to what will happen on BF and that is always the key to winning the holiday. Will we see $300 X1s with gift vouchers free XBL etc. Will Sony drop the price. Will the Halo LE bundle drop to $400??? This is why I said it will be an intriguing battle this holiday to begin with. MS might have to do more to win the holiday but history shows us that they always are the most aggressive on BF.


And I totally get you. The trend right now seems to point a win for PS4 in october NPD, but I am guessing also there is just no way that MS is going to allow to loose October NPD, the month Halo launches. So I am expecting some desperate deals at the end of the month.

Remember the Titanfall month? The deals of the xbox one were amazing, MS totally went for the win, but the "not so available" PS4, selling out as soon as it becomes available, was able to win the month. So yeah like you I don't believe MS will just be standing by and wait for the outcome, they will try to push the outcome at their favor same way they did last holidays. But this time, sony has the COD bunbles and a room for price cut. It is going to be an interesting holidays. I think PS4 has the edge because of the room they have to do a price cut ( a $100 price cut and it is game over). But MS deep pockets and desperate mode are the only weapons that MS has in order to battle the PS4 in the US this holidays.

I told them, that they would get what they deserved (CD). I will be boycotting the game on PS4 too.

The only reason I can think of is that people are wise to how cheap MS will go this BF and are holding out for the BF deals.

Here's one thing about Amazon and wise people.
For a long time, the standard PS4 SKU was in the top 20, and the ones that came with a free game, no extra charge, were not even showing up in the top 100.
And unless I'm mistaken, about a week ago, the standard PS4 cracked top 100 again.

Common sense actually aint that common. True story!

Destiny bundle finally dropping a little.
Seems like it did sell a lot when the price cut happened, as it's keeping so high for a good time after it was out of stock, so I guess it sold really well really fast.

That's the advantage of not announcing an official price drop. We can discuss this until the cows come home but at the end of the day, the average Joe (or Rita) is going to jump on this for fear of the price going back up. Sony could play this game of tag a couple more times this month until they (possibly ... probably likely) announce an official price drop at PGW.

I don't know why but I've also got this feeling it's going to be a $100 price drop, not a $50 price drop. I thought that before but the Destiny bundle reenforced the idea for me. Those bundles aren't as cheap as normal bundles usually and clearly, because they've already sold out, Amazon wasn't just trying to get rid of an excess of stock. I believe that Sony have already passed that price reduction on to the retailers and the retailers are making hay while the sun shines until an official announement. They make $50 on each one sold, the consumer feels as if they've got a good deal, Sony sell more consoles without having to publicly announce a price cut. It works so perfectly.

$299 = 500gb PS4
$349 + 1tb PS4

When Uncharted: A Thief's End Launches they drop the 500gb model and only have the 1tb model priced at $299. BOOM.
