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 .

October 2015 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes November 10th
- Thread starter donny2112
- Start date
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.
What a sad day when Ouya doesn't get the respect it... nm.

Prediction: PS4 wins by 60k. Wii U under 50k, 3DS maybe breaks 100k.

Titanfall month all over again!
Shots fired lol.
Wii U #1 amongst Nintendo consoles starting with "Wii" confirmed!
That promotion is over
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!"

Why so low for WiiU? Do you think people are waiting for BF?
Boom.
Oh ok. Nevermind then
Yes you do.
I don't think pre orders would be enough to change anything. It never charted high on Amazon and that matches what Abdiel said.

Wait. Did someone say, "Taco Bell?"
abcdiel said ps4 won last November and ps4 got curb stomped.

True. I still think X1 will have this month by a small margin.

I used this magic 8 ball site http://www.indra.com/8ball/front.html
I asked
"will ps4 win October 2015 NPD"
answer was
"Better not tell you now"
I then asked
"will xbox win October 2015 NPD'
answer was
"Signs point to yes"

Conflicted reports point towards Xbox One.
Well this is far better than the 90s when people did video game market analysis with Nordic Runes and Dowsing sticks.

I refuse to believe PS4 gets the lead over XBO on Halo month. Price drop be damned.
October should be interesting
This Majoras Mask? That looks creepy as hell...

If the prediction is true, it's a low risk, high reward, Joey Bats batlfip type situation.
If the prediction is wrong, well of course it is.

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.

And making lists of names of people that say anything that looks remotely like a leak and feeding it to the lawyers, maybe. Or not.

At $500 how much do you think that will matter?
It's Halo. Even with this price, this bundle will sell at least great.
... just smaller
That meme is pretty much dead, just look at the UK charts.
Yup. I never understood that. It would have sold a shit ton. I give the PS4 the edge in Nov and Dec simply because of the $350 SW bundle.

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.
