A price cut would be more effective around this time and MS has no answer for U4 anyway.See that is why I say it is pointless for them to worry so much about the holidays when U4 will sell PS4s like black friday.

I'm only suggesting a possibility. The PS4 lost ground by 700k last Christmas in the US and won WW, but I think Sony want to take this Christmas and cement their success in the US.

I would agree if Sony did not have bundles with the two biggest games this fall.FO4 won't even come close to BOP3 and SWBF and even that is selling better for the PS4 according to Amazon.

I thiink you're viewing the situation as it is now. You have to take into consideration that MS will likely have something up their sleeves too. We can only guess at what that could possibly be. I doubt they can pull the temporary price drop trick for a second year, although we can't really completely dismiss it. They could have ridiculously good bundles and perhaps heavily advertise BC while similtaniously promoting a trade in program for 360/PS3. The only problem with that is it's not going to be full BC (just yet, if ever) so it could create a negative backlash. MS will do something though, you can be sure of that and Sony will want to either be ready or cut them off at the pass.

Uncharted collection doing work on Amazon. Plus Sony said 80% of current ps4 owners never played uncharted and that they want it to do very well.

I'd imagine they'll be pushing the uncharted bundle heavily as well soon as their front runner to promote the game and price cut, otherwise why would target show that bundle with the price cut, but then not offer the $50 gift card on that same bundle?

Either way, I wouldn't be shocked to wake up Friday morning and see the official announcement from Sony all over the internet.

Even with all that I don't think it will change the inevitable .I mean a price cut would have bo significance when the X1 is already cheaper and black friday will have deals for both consoles anyway.If BC was such a selling point than people would already be buying the X1 or bought the WiiU.I know they will try something and Sony will respond,but I don't think it will be a permanent price cut just yet.Especially if Sony does win October which is highly likely.

Yeah, they're clearly sitting on the Uncharted bundle to give their 3rd party titles as much time in the sun as possible. I'd imagine they'll start pushing the bundle a couple of days after the release of the Uncharted Collection.

Back in August when pre orders for the halo 5 bundle went up, it placed at #24 on the Amazon monthly charts. The following month of September it didn't even make the top 100 monthly.

And until a few days ago, it was struggling to get out of the 80s and 90s range. So most pre orders are occurring now rather than before.

Not to mention the horrible charting of the current Xbox bundles, and we may see sales for October in a pretty low number compared to what many ppl are expecting.

I still think Microsoft will win the month, but I don't think it'll be by as many units as some are expecting.

I'm really pathetic and have no friends. Please excuse the trolling message that used to be here, I don't know any better.
