XB1 winning would heavily go against Amazon and what other online charts said over the month in October. Yeah, Amazon and online chartzz, but they've been a good gauge ever since.

Amazon banned if so......

If PS4 wins, Amazon was right, because it had PS4 ahead for the month.
If XB1 wins, Amazon was right, because you had to add in August's Halo 5 preorders to October's numbers and that pushed XB1 higher.

Amazon is safe, no matter what.

Than you will have a chance to win a Golden ps4.

That promotion is over :(


Even if X1 win this month PS4 being close is a win for Sony .
PS4 beating X1 this month would be the cherry on top .

It makes me laugh at the idea that Sony or MS would take NPD that serious.

True or not, now I visualize one of them high fiving each other. "Only missed first by 6k boys. Moral victory laps around the office! Yeah!"

PS4 was never going to win in Halo month. Next month's NPD should be interesting.

Oh ok. Nevermind then

I have no idea. I just think PS4 > XB1 predictions are crazy for October.

Yes you do.

If PS4 wins, Amazon was right, because it had PS4 ahead for the month.
If XB1 wins, Amazon was right, because you had to add in August's Halo 5 preorders to October's numbers and that pushed XB1 higher.

I don't think pre orders would be enough to change anything. It never charted high on Amazon and that matches what Abdiel said.

24 hours to go.

Too bad i can't change my prediction, maybe i would say a bit less for both XB1 and PS4... well, i hope to be close.
 
Let's ask an official source who wins the NPD

I just looking forward to PR spin if MS does not win this month .
Don't know about Sony there PR has not been that funny for a while now either good or bad .

Hard to blame Amazon if xb1 wins... There is like 20 xb1 bundles vs 3 ps4 bundles

Don't forget about the Lego, Kinect, and Holiday bundle that launched in October. They will add up.

I won't blame Amazon—I'm going to blame Abdiel. Thanks to his comments, I switched my prediction twice RIGHT before the deadline and I'm thinking I should have stuck to an earlier one.

I will also blame the European Halo 5 sales thread.

And also Amazon.

And NPD-George. Cuz he's new.

It doesn't count Halo bundles preorders that charted in August i think.
 
Less consoles sold + more profit.
More consoles sold + less profit.

MS did the latter last year so I am guessing they were relying on Halo to help them out with the former this year.

Problem is we don't know the gaps. My guess is that bigger gaps exist at the top, then numbers normalize as you get toward 100. With so many bundles in the top 10, there's simply no way to tell.
