PSPro rising, i think its going to be really big this holiday. i wonder what Sony will do on black friday. if they cut it temporarily to 350$ it would explode in sales.
I don't think they'll do much other than add a game or two. We'll likely see great deals for the PS4 Slim though.

Pro won't get BF spotlight, at best maybe a bundled game, price stays the same
Slim is the real deal, will be 250 with 1 or 2 games depending on which ones are in

Another month over and now we head into the the 2 strongest months of the year. Pro preorders have been insane and Xbox had a poor showing but that could be due to people trading in their consoles at brick-and-mortar stores and Amazon's failure to track the Gears bundle. Whatever happened we can't come to any sort of conclusion until we get NPD results.

November thread will be up shortly!!!

Final update for the October rankings
If Amazon gets this wrong then we'd have to assume Amazon has dramatically changed their algorithm. I'm not looking forward to 'we told you Amazon wasn't reliable' posts on VG, a ludicrous (pun intended) position to take after 3 straight years of it being correct. Those *snap* moments are going to come thick and fast, I can feel it.

The reason why Amazon didn't predict the correct winning console in September is because other retailers offered deals while Amazon did not offer a deal of similar value. Before, we would see things like GameStop offering a $100 discount for trading in a PS3/360 while Amazon bundle 2 extra games at no extra cost. But in September and October, we only see GameStop and Best Buy offering deals while Amazon didn't do much.

The Gears bundle didn't even have a ranking and never appeared in the October charts. That's what I mean. The lead is so huge on Amazon for October, if it's wrong we'll have to consider whether Amazon will ever be reliable again. It's a shame but we have to face up to it.
