To be fair, only one of those models will affect October. Still, I think it will be somewhat close, but the PS4 is going to win Oct. It'll be the first full month of a $299 PS4. Sony will be ramping up advertising as we start getting closer to the holidays and will most likely have more bundles for every taste. Hope they put out a Knack/R&C bundle for younger kids. VR could also cause a slight boost.

Now, November is going to be a bloodbath. Even if MS slightly wins Sept and Oct, November is going to make up for every XBO win this year. We'll have the COD marketing + bundles and the strong possibility of a $249 BF SKU, which will fly off shelves. More importantly, we have the Pro launch, which obviously is going to be bringing in 250K+ all by itself, with 500K+ being likely if preorders keep up like they have, and 750K+ not being impossible. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the PS4 pulls off 1.8M+ in Nov, with XBO probably repeating last year's 1.3M, possibly slightly less.

I think that last year  Halo's launch made the Xbox One outsell the PS4 by over 40k. If the Xbox One wins October I don't think that it will be by that much.

Yea, I agree. I'm guessing it'll be more along the lines of 10K if it pulls it off. Same really goes for this month. I think if MS wins the next 2 months, the total gap they could, at maximum, wipe away with their 4 month streak would be 200K. The PS4 is going to outsell it by at least 2x that amount in Nov.

Well, unless MS does a crazy ass $199 SKU for Black Friday, but I highly doubt they will.

4K Blu-ray is too expensive. But they can make the original Xbox One for 199US$ if they still have some stock.

As the usual. But even EA expect Titanfall2 to compete against COD, and not Battlefield 1.

The Infinite Warfare bundle.

The 2 new Xbox One s Battlefield 1 bundles have hit the hourlies, and both are outside the top 100

XB1s 1TB LE Battlefield 1 bundle: #140
XB1s 500GB Battlefield 1 bundle: #2622 (no, that's not a typo in case anyone's wondering)

Obviously they'll both rise and enter the 100 at some point, but once again Microsoft has done the same as they've done in previous years: there's so many bundles out there that they cannibalize each others' sales. Obviously Microsoft from a business perspective doesn't care about this (2 bundles selling 110k combined is obviously better than 1 bundle selling 100k for them), but it still sucks for us because it makes it hard to get a good picture on how the XB1 is selling.
