Xbox already winning Black Friday BIG
The Minecraft Bundle is top seller at 2 huge retailers in the US and that does not even account for the more popular BF1 Bundles

last year for comparison:

If Battlefield Bundle was more popular, it would be first. And seeing as PS4 won Amazon, it looks like it's 2-2

And these are pretty pointless btw, they don't tell us nearly enough, we have to wait and see

BF1 has 3 different Bundles, while Minecraft is just 1 (same for the Ps4 Slim, btw)

Its so anoying, sometimes there are good conversations going and then just one or two completely off putting reactions that make you want to poke your eyes out, but its hard no to respond sometimes lol.

Anyway, judging by the new pictures there its gonna be really close between the PS4 and Xbox on who won black friday, so that leaves us to the obvious conclusion that it won't matter because the PRO pre orders kicking in will make the PS4 win, I think BF will go pretty 50-50 but it will be 60-40 or so on the NPD sales, however, december is going to be super interesting!

For 3 years we could use Amazon to predict the outcome of the NPDs, but for the last 4 months something has changed. The PS4 will win based entirely on Pro preorders but, having seen the last 4 months, I'm not now going to assume Amazon has returned to normal. If it has then we'll see a huge win for the PS4 and if it hasn't we'll see a win for the PS4.

Amazon actually did predict Julys win. You could easily see how high xbox was when they started having those massive sales.

Amazon couldn't predict August because that was won on pre orders alone. So There is no way to blame Amazon there.

So really it is only two months, not four months. Two months with no halo bundle, and where gears couldn't break top 50. Two clear bugs that seem fixed now.

Was about to post this. In July, the XBO Division bundle was the top console for the month, at #9. The 500GB Bundle was 2nd, at #17. The first PS4 SKU was #22. In August, the top console was, once again, the XBO, at #23. The PS4 was 2nd, at #25, with the XBO Halo bundle rounding out the top 3 with the HC Bundle, at #42.

So, yea, Amazon did predict those months accurately. It's just the last two that there seemed to be a bug in the system, or Amazon wasn't getting stock of a certain bundle. Either way, with the XBO's performance this BF, I think it's been fixed. I believe its accuracy is still above 90%. Personally, I'm not going to start questioning it until its accuracy drops below 80%-85%.

Yeah, I forgot about those two months. Even I get hijacked by GAF sometimes.

Infoscout is the biggest joke I've seen, what a bunch of useless bs.

Give us numbers not this crap, also where is Gamestop (biggest retailer NA) and Amazon (biggest online retailer NA)?

If I can remember correctly online retailers took a bigger share than usual over Black Friday. Amazon should have more sway than usual this time of year.
