It's too early to call by my initial thoughts are that the Gears Bundle is pushing XB1 sales up and preorders of PS4pro are starting to hold the PS4s down. It very much looks like the PS4pro is going to be the defacto SKU for most people going forward. Two weeks of this and it's an easy win for the XB1 but it all depends on how long the Gears bundle can hold its appeal.

I recall someone saying this would happen a few days ago...

We re only 5 days into the month.

So far this 5th day is the only one where it looks like the Xbox One might have sold more on Amazon, and its a really narrow win on this 5th day.

Still to early to say that Xbox One takes this month.

'Initial thoughts', not 'final conclusion'

I think it will sell nearly 3 times the amount it sold on the XB1

That is a very unrealistic prediction. 

Isn't unrealistic for a game to sell 3+ Millions in 2 months, when the previous sold 10+ millions(all plataforms), where the core fanbase is. Tomb Raider sold very well on PS and PC. But, like was expected, the PC versions had a better leg while the PS's version had a better opening. The PS and PC's version sold nearly the same in the end, if I remember well. Maybe that is the reason why Microsoft allowed Square to release the game for the PC 2 months later.



Not sure the XB1 is actually outselling PS4 overall right now, even with Pro excluded. Next three consoles after Gears are all PS4

The unrealistic part is that the game has been out for close to a year on xbox and since Jan or Feb on PC. Those that really wanted to play it already have it unless they are PS4 die hards or can't afford a x360/xb1/or PC. I expect the game to do well but i don't think it will do much over 1ml this year on Playstation.

We were talking specifically about the XB1 version V the PS4 version sales. What it's already sold on PC or XB1 is of no importance. I have said it could sell 3 times the amount it sold on the XB1 for what I consider legitimate reasons, although it's only my take and there's no reason I couldn't be wrong.

Playstation dominating Amazon before big bundles even are out, I say damn.

Cod and Watch Dogs bundles are coming lads.

Rise of the tomb raider will probably sell 1 million in one month on ps4
