I hope it does happen, it would make it a interesting thread lol.

People really need to get the fuck out with this nonsense. Not only are indies not games, apparently nothing published by companies other than Nintendo counts either.
The meltdowns will be much worse if Xbone wins by a large margin.I hope it does happen, it would make it a interesting thread lol.

People expect MS to take the month, no matter the margin.The meltdowns will be much worse if Xbone wins by a large margin.
Highest meltdown potential: PS4 wins this month
OR
X1 wins a month after the price goes back up.
Indie games & Nintendo games aren't games? LOL, OK, buddy.

MS will not be stupid enough to raise the price again.
What kind of large margin are we talking about?
Look at that Xbox 360 numbers. And not just this chart but even going with the NPD data, software still sells so much on Xbox 360, its crazy. Say what you want, but 360 still prints money for Microsoft and can't say the same for PS3.
How much do we consider a large margin?

For it to not be an embarrassment of a Phyrric victory for MS, they need to win November by over 200k.

2:1 or greater, not gonna happen but man there would be a metric ton of salt thrown around here. If PS4 wins to me it's just more of the same despite MS best efforts.What kind of large margin are we talking about?

My prediction is actually a 200k gap, but I actually think that's likely to be a lowball estimate. I think the gap might be closer to 350k-400k for the month. But there's so much raw data out there and analysis it's hard to get a precise picture on a few important details about PS4 and XBO necessary to say what the gap might be.
The other thing is... will we actually get hard numbers this month? MS might want to actually tout a huge number gap, because they've had to hide behind comically misleading PR for the past, gosh, 8 months.

2:1 or greater would pretty much be equal to the Xbox One closing the gap and probably being ~100K over the PS4 in North America. That would be insane. Not happening.

Welcome to the Phil Spencer Effect.
This is the new shit.
That math is wonky.
Your maths assumes XB1 sells 2.4 million and PS4 sells 1.2 million for November 2014.

yeah that temporary price drop isnt temporary,
the $450 price drop(titanfall bundle) was followed by keeping it baseline at $400 for a kinectless model...
so using the same formula $350 price drop temporary to a $300 baseline?
350-400K is pretty out there at most i see a 200K gap.

not sure if meltdown is the right word, but i agree. people are already jumping through hoops to justify what microsoft did was a bad thing and that it doesn't matter and that they'll be worse off for having done this.
i predict the npd thread will be full of 'concern' over sony's complacency on one side and 'concern' about microsoft's profitability on another.

There's some major data points missing for any realistic prediction (including what PS4 and XBO sold last month), but the reference point I'm choosing to use here is the fact PS4 sold like 350k (or something, I forget the exact number) more than XBO in Destiny month.
Here's their chart from last year and we know how that turned out.
Isn't sales mostly about profit? Do you think MS is making profit by discounting the XBO and throwing in free games?
