The Xbox One has so many bundles.   This is why I believe that we will never see a vinilla Xbox One again.

Whoops. I must have punched in a wrong number somewhere on my calculator. I redid the calculations and the LTD gap as of the end of 2014 was indeed much lower than 750k. More like 520-530k. The gap as of October 2014 was still about 1150k.

So when is the cut off date for Dec's NPD?

barneystinson69 said: The reason Halo didn't sell console's is because there wasn't a standard bundle. Sorry, but I wouldn't pay 500$ for an XB1 either. On top of the fact they lost COD, and Sony had star wars, it was obvious as to why Microsoft was going to lose.

When Halo 3 was released they had a limited edition Halo-themed 360 released alongside it. Not a bundle. Just the system; the game was sold separately. Halo 3 still pushed more hardware than Halo 5 did, in both absolute and relative terms.

I think Sunday is the last day.

Nice, should be a great month for sales.

Also, star wars killed it.

Great month. I'm glad it's over. I survived another year. Fuck the holidays man. Haha.

Oh wow.   How did this happen.  Does this mean that the PS4 won all 5 weeks on Amazon?
