#15 - Ps4 Destiny TTK LE

#26 - Ps4 TLOU Bundle

#62 - X1 - Halo 5 LE

#70 - Ps4 COD LE

#83 - Ps4 Standard

#87 - Ps4 Star Wars LE

 

The Amazon Crystal Ball is clear enough as of RIGHT NAO. Maybe when the Halo 5 release date comes closer the X1 becomes Super Saiyan, but as of RIGHT NAO the Ps4 is murdering the X1.


The sales of COD and Star Wars bundles won't matter in October NPD.

I'm not sure. PS4 is a beast. I'm sure Halo will push hardware but it has to review very well. Even if it wins, it probably won't be a huge victory.



Last Oct had 297k PS4 and 168k XB1.

PS4 may fall a bit and XB1 is effectively 220k+ without Halo. And with Halo I think it takes the win.



frankly, at least in the US ps4 doesn't have a huge lead over xbox. halo doesn't have to push a ton of hardware to give xbox the win.

Pretty much this.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I say Xbox one will might win if the ps4 loses this month.



I wouldn't bet on it, but will cheer for it

That's a bit of an odd thing to point out considering there are two PS4 bundles ahead of the Halo bundle that WILL effect October.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Another thing that people have to consider about the Halo bundle is that it was announced in August, so you can't just look at the current rank, you have to also consider the pre-orders that happened in earlier weeks/months.



No, it will be a clear win for X1. Remember when using Amazon that the X1 has a headstart of finishing #23 (I think) in August, and tracking for October doesn't start till Monday, when the Halo bundle will be higher.

November and December are less clear, I would still give the edge to MS but anything could happen at this stage
