Yes, but CM won't count towards Nov NPD.  It will be put towards Dec.  I also expect Sony will give Amazon another shipment just for CM.  We may see a repeat of last year where PS4 won CM, which helped them towards winning Dec NPD, as well.

They aren't going to keep up similar sales to Thurs night and BF.  Right now, sales have slowed incredibly.  They'll pick back up Mon.

If they had enough to jump 38+ spots on the yearly, they will jump 12 spots more with relative ease if sales keep up at #2.

Not if they are selling MUCH less than what they did on Thu and Fri.  I think they may jump up 5 spots, but I highly doubt they'll pass the X tomorrow, let alone the PS4.  But, we will see.

It ends today.

What time? Do we know exactly? I always heard it ended on on Sunday, so I'm guessing midnight then?

It end Saturday(ttoday) So the update tomorrow from Amazon will be the last update for November NPD.

The XB1S is now #62 on the 2017 rankings, which take into account sales up to yesterday. I tried to backtrack the thread to see how fast the PS4 rose. After 1 day, the PS4 hit #98 while the XB1S didn't enter the Top 100 after Thursday. After 2 days, the PS4 was very close behind the XB1X. I would guess after their respective sales began, the PS4 sold at a faster pace than the XB1S, but both sold very well regardless.

It should be noted that the PS4 was sold out before Thanksgiving on Amazon which will skew the perception of how well it's doing overall. Based on Benji and Abdiel's assessments, the PS4 had a lot of stock though even then, it sold out by the end of yesterday. Overall, I think the BF weekend will look like this:

XB1S > PS4 online
PS4 > XB1S on B&M

Yea, going by the insiders, plus what others have seen, I think we are going to see XBO win slightly online, but PS4 win big at B&M.  I'm hoping Sony also gets out another large shipment just for Cyber Monday.

Another thing to point out is GameStop's $349 PS4 Pro deal. This was the 2nd best Pro deal to Amazon's $349 Destiny 2 bundle before that quickly sold out.  Reading through Abdiel's assessment again, it looks like the Pro sold better than the X even though it's still $399 at Best Buy.

Sony needs to crank more out, so all 3 can sell as much as possible.

That way, we can all enjoy gaming, one last time, before we lose net neutrality.

I think the Xbox One S will win Cyber Monday. PS4 is still sold out most places online and it doesnt look like its coming back in stock in time for cyber monday.

Welll, if NPD ends tomorrow maybe Sony knows what they're doing after all. For the foreseeable future through, the main console to look out for is the $189 Xbox. I think MS will make this the new lead model if it keeps them ahead, profits be damned. Looks like the X wasn't the console Sony had to look out for.

PS4 Slim back in stock on November 30th, 3 days after Cyber Monday. They're taking preorders for it at $290. Maybe Sony is going to drop the price on the Battlefront 2 bundle for Cyber Monday instead?

There was a suggestion that the BF2 bundle was more likely to be price dropped in December (when the movies out) which would make sense. But I guess they could do it earlier.

The question would then be what they doing for cyber Monday... interesting times.

Awesome looks like PS4 will end up winning amazon for November.

The same thing happened last year, but Sony put enough stock out by Mon to win Cyber Monday.  Don't see why they wouldn't do it again this year.

As I said above, the same thing happened last year, but Sony got more out.  Also, where do you see that info?  All I see is that it is in stock and being sold by ProSale for $295.
