That, without doubt, represents a fearful company. It would be bad enough if it was an OG XB1 bundle but this is their latest, and supposedly greatest XB1s. If that's what it takes for MS to stand a chance of 'winning' a month then it's game over for them as far as this gen goes. It's a completely unsustainable strategy and can only lead to a crash in the near future. As I said before though, let's hope it doesn't drag Sony or Nintendo down with it. MS are currently singlehandedly devalueing the console market.

chuckles*. Oh boy. lol needed this laugh this morning.  just so know, all this benefit the consumer. not really sure on how and why would that deal be such a "terrible" thing for the console market... thanks though.. keep drinking that cool aid.

Whether you agree with him or not a newly released console and 7 games is pretty intense.  It's the S and not the original. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.

Some of these comments are golden, when MS does a deal it means their desperate, if Sony does it its "for the gamers". Typical VGC

Wth?  I don't get these responses. 

Where did I say this?

As far as gribble goes he is pretty consistent on his stance unless I've missed something.

Hopefully the Pro and the Switch can replace the value MS are sucking out of this industry with these ludicrous deals.

The list of games is what shocked me.  It's not like it was a list of old worthless games.  

Living in the U.S. It's nothing to see Xbox deals that are pretty crazy but that one had some new games plus a couple heavy hitters in Halo5/GTAV.

3 hours since last update:

HARDWARE
#23 PS4 Pro (same)*
#55 PSVR Headset (up 1)
#60 N3DSXL Lime (up 2)
#64 PS4 Fool's Edition (down 1)
#65 PS4s UC4 Bundle (up 1)
#77 PS4 UC4 Bundle (down 3)
#83 N3DSXL Galaxy (down 3)
#91 XB1s-500gb Battlefield Bundle (down 2)
#95 PSVR Launch Bundle (re-entry)
#99 XB1s-1tb Madden Bundle (down 5)

Does not affect this month (*)

SOFTWARE (pre-orders only)
#03 3DS Pokemon Moon (up 1)
#05 3DS Pokemon Sun (up 1)

PS4: 4 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
XB1: 2 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10

It's completely possible that the Gears bundle could be sitting between the Pro and the Fool's edition. Only NPD will give us some kind of perspective.

Why does everyone keep saying the Gears 1tb bundle would be Xbox's highest seller? The 1tb bundles don't usually do all that well, and there's a more current Battlefield One 1tb bundle: a game that is going to sell a hell of a lot more than Gears on Xbox, exclusive or not. It's the Halo 500 gb bundle that's really making the comparison difficult, as that will likely be the one's bestselling bundle this month.

They must know that by doing this they make it impossible to shift decent numbers of hardware without these deals.

PS4 Pro one place away from passing the XB1 S 2TB on the yearly chart. Sony's November numbers are going to be crazy.

I think people are just talking about it in relation to Amazon. The Gears bundle has no tracking at the moment so it's difficult to determine whether it would be high or low.

Ah, fair enough :)
