Holidays can't be a reason. If you exclude the games or the price, This October is just like the last october, nothing change.

And the others bundle in the end i don't think are really that important.

 

Basically i think the main 2 reasons of XBO be up YOY are those two:

- Gears (with the Slim bundle)

- And Battlefield 1 (which could have a bundle too)

 

others than this doesn't matter at all. I think XBO should be close to last years numbers in all Oct-Nov-Dec, with October be a bit down and Nov/Dec a bit up. If it's up in November and December, is fine if in October is down, just look at PS4 in 2015.

That makes sense about the Holidays but I don't know man...anything other than it being up will not be good imo. I guess it would not be bad....but it won't be good in my eyes if that makes sense lol.

Side note I am also with you all...Halo is Halo after all. But I am a Gears for life type of guy....more so Gears 1 than the other but still Gears all the way for me lol.

Without anything big in the middle of the year, it will probably be up in the end. Xbox One is currently down 180K YOY, isn't ? Isn't hard to get those 180K with a Holidays month, But we still need to see if Gears of War will sell like the previous games or if it will be down like Halo.

I don't think that the Fifa Bundle will do much for the Xbox One, Majority of the Fifa players are on Playstation, and Xbox One  already had a Fifa Bundle before.

Yet another good point. Oh well we will see. XB1 all eyes are on you and how you do. The BO3 PS4 bundle will surely be replaced with Infinite Warfare and I am sure we will see other bundles close to the Holidays, definitely one with UC4 but seeing as it is still currently selling pretty well they are holding off and getting as much money as they can which is smart business wise.

Ps4 still leading!!

So will the XboneS debut be a blowout? Or more of a "strong showing"? Very interested in those numbers.

We will need to wait until September for the results. I think that it will outsell the PS4 for atleast 100-150K. If they are unable to do that, there is no comeback for the Xbox, even in the USA.

Clearly NMS has had a possitive affect on PS4 sales and the game is still sitting at #03. I can't think of anything more satisfying. Good job Hello Games.



 

The PS5 Exists.

XB1 ahead of the PS4 again, so I guess it didn't last that long. XB1 500GB edition also in the top 50, which is also very good news! The Madden bundle seems to be the one struggling the most though, but I do expect it to rocket up at the last minute instead.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
