I thought it was really easy to tell that it was a joke.
Neural network -> Brain -> Thinking
Same Neural Network that was telling you TLG was dead?
The way I interpret it is "my neural network" = his brain.
Basically it's what he thinks.
This being said obviously a (probably) small Xbox win this month would not be a big suprise, even if I give PS4 winning by "a nose".
No, my neural network is hooked into trees like the movie Avatar.
His sentence was in present tense, sou could even be hourlys.
There still might be some npd DRAMA!

Hi.
Sure, but HW bundles have been a meaningful portion of HW sales all the way back to the first X360 holiday bundles back in the late '00s. So when comparing averages over the past few years, this doesn't really cause a significant difference. But yeah, a higher % of HW is sold as part of a bundle this year.

If PS4 won, I'll eat at Taco Hell.
If PS4 won, I'll accidentally the WHOLE NPD on the boards.
I don't know that they know, and I don't think they did last year in Nov/dec????
Also TLG was just cancelled again.
Speaking of avatar, yours reminds me of a Gaston from Beauty and the Beast... but with glasses.

I put the ps4 ahead but i dont believe they can pull that off with halo but if they do, ill join you and get the worst possible thing on the menu(help me out guys what would that be?
That is who it is.
Than you will have a chance to win a Golden ps4.
'neural network' is a strange euphemism. I prefer dnacanon.

Not because people have such a burning desire to purchase that way, more due to the platform holders wishing to push them as a cheap value add. In some cases the non-bundled consoles have retailed higher than the bundles at times.
While there are a huge number of official bundles out there, they are nothing new, what seems at least a little different is the quantity and their defult nature of late.

I don't really get this line of thinking any more. A weaker Halo release vs a console that was selling better than the XBone at a higher price anyways, which that got its first price cut for the whole months worth. How there's "just no way" works with that I don't know.
. Idk if it's for this month or October. IMO Ps4 just needed to keep it close and not actually win. They were going against HALO

Which isn't the titan it once was.
If Amazon best sellers for October is anything to go by, Xbox One did not win, and it's not even neck and neck. The problem with Xbox AAA exclusives seems to be they sell to an existing audience vs selling systems. I remember back in March 2014 people were flabbergasted that Titanfall didn't win Xbox that NPD. I don't see how Halo 5 is any different. The 360 was already winning every NPD when Halo 4 came out so going by that is not really accurate.
Yeah but that's compared to itself. Compared to almost every other game it's still enormous.
It's been said a couple of times in this thread, but Titanfall is no Halo. Not even close.
Yea it isnt. It's a shame about the story in Halo 5. Halo 4 had a very good story.
How? by getting people to cancel preorders?
I can see it now,
Cancel your Star Wars PS4 bundles this week and receive 100 dollars off your next Xbox One, the All-in-One Entertainment System purchase.*
*proof of cancellation required to be eligible for promotion.

I think he means that in software sales, Fallout 4 is first and Halo 5 second.

I'm talking UK here but Halo only sold about 25k more than Titanfall. I'd say that is very close. Halo might still sell very well but it's no beast mode these days. There's a real potential that PS4 wins the month or it's very close. "Just no way" you could say for WiiU winning the month sure. But there's a real possibility of PS4 taking it.
Only 1 more day to find out though. Lots of potential quotes from this thread could come back and haunt some people.
You're getting months mixed up. CoD and Fallout launched in November. Halo in October. So he obviously means Uncharted outsold Halo
/s
lol Fallout came out yesterday....
