Best bet is Amazon,they usually have a countdown until deals are live.

I know what he meant. They will not tell us what the margin is, but they will certainly give us hints.

Hoo boy. I'll leave it alone =\
Not if they want to compete with Tomb Raider XBO.

This thread makes me feel like I've been time warped back to IGN Forums. lol.
But for real guys. Both systems will sell out.

We still won't know by what margin though. MS will just proclaim the XB1 was the highest selling console in November and we'll be stuck wondering how much more they sold.
Save yourself a trip to the store and order on Amazon. Make sure to check a few days prior to Black Friday to see when the deals go live.
Trust me, avoid the Black Friday crowd. It's when people turn into animals.

This generation was pretty much wrapped up months ago. Even the US isn't looking all that competitive anymore.
So unattractive that they will sold out...

I am surprised each time I hear Phil Spencer talk about how X-Box One has so many games coming out at the end of next year that they are going to have to start delaying games...You'd figure they, meaning MS, would want to have some bundles to compete with Sony and Nintendo directed at kids. I already have my PS4 and hope more people pick up PS4's to have a strong community, however; to paraphrase Gordon Gecko "Competition like Greed is Good" I am probably coming off base but I hope Sony can keep the momentum going with these bundles. But anyone thinking Microsoft has this Winter won wait a bit and see how the market sway before believing its all Microsoft from here on out.

Where does all of this MS confidence come from?
Exactly, because buying the better hardware system for $50-70 more actually makes sense.
To be honest. Gears on Xbox One will be big. I. Sure there are people that handle this franchise with utmost care now that its been acquired from Epic. I think having a new studio handle the game can only mean good things. Fresh ideas and concepts. The last 2 Gears games lost there identity. Things got s bit wayward. Having a new studio take over, well, lets say IMO i'd welcome fresh ideas (going by the last average/poor) Gears showing.Typing on ipad is a bitch.

They've earned it, from all of their competence.
No, but seriously, it's more a factor of price/competitiveness/bargain-hunting-shoppers than it is faith in MS.
Wynnbeck is reaching Miles levels fairly quickly Ahahaha
Lots of bundles + price drop + discounts + Halo MCC and some smart PR Spin yesterday

That GTA bundle is going to be massive for Sony. With MS dirt cheap prices, next two months are up for grabs.

It is never catching up worldwide, no matter how much more XB1 sells than PS4 in USA.

I look forward to the YouTube kid outrage when they get the LBp3 bundle when they wanted the GTAV one
So a question about this, it says starts at 6pm on Thursday at the top but the online offer at the bottom says all day Thursday...is that also starting at 6pm then or not? If someone knows pls let me know...it's tempting lol
Most places aren't even advertising the Wii U.
No, Bloodborne hits in March.

Of course price drop gives you small time boost always. I am not just so sure that selling better during first half of november (and by how much? significantly? marginally?) is enough to tell that Xbox One takes the whole month when the latter two weeks are probably something like 80% of the total sales of the month and these PS4 bundles are still pretty solid. PS4 still has that mindshare advantage that it has gathered from selling whole this year more than Xbox One. Its sales lead is already based on more things than just a price. Dropping Xbox one to same price point did a jack shit.
Same for bolded, I gamble on the leaked assets for next-gen consoles and won. Still putting it off though because I going with Dragon Age

An XB1 and a free game for $399 couldn't beat a $450 PS4 with just "Destiny"
This bundle has one of (if not, the) best selling games of all time with a free remaster of a game that managed to top the NPD charts. They have a pretty good bundle in terms of games. I don't know if anyone can say the AC Xbox One bundle is even comparable if your goal is to simply have a game right out of the box.

Where's the Kinect in that black Friday deal?
The online ones seems to be a different bundle for each console. The ones in store at 6PM are cheaper and the ones online are a little pricier

The first few months of the year are the worst sales-wise for consoles. A $50 price difference won't matter much. MS can drop the price again if sales are still sluggish in 2015.

Sony must be really confident if they don´t feel the need to offer more.
Microsoft is pushing hard to win this fall. Maybe the two weeks that Microsoft won after the price drop isn´t by a significant margin, so they see this as being just enough to pull them ahead.
That, or they´re fine with losing November and potentially December.

This. I think they will both be ok regardless who sells more this holiday, however nominal that amount is. It is 2015 where we will get to see the long term ramifications of MS's aggressive pricing and bundles this year has had. Short term gains, long term......we'll see.
Why can't we have Brack Friday in South Africa :-(
So the $449 one is the Bundle + 2 games of Choice?

Adding a shitty Kinect would make for a black day indeed.
Regardless of who wins November, Sony is going to sell as many GTA5/TLOU PS4 bundles as they can put on shelves at $400, whether that's enough to close the perceived gap or not we'll wait and see, but a console box with GTA5 splashed across the front is going to move a hell of a lot of units.

How good of a deal that is depends on if the options for games is whatever you want or if they make you choose. If they make you choose between games worth $20-$30 now, it's not that great. If you can choose brand new $60 games, then it's much better. Do we have any details yet? Usually on bundles like that on Walmart, they make you choose between certain items, so I'm very skeptical.
Yes the online one is worth it tho, PS4 + 4 games for 450 basically
my question is more on when that actually goes on sale..as in at what time? The in store stuff says 6pm on Thursday but the online one says all day Thursday..all day as in starting at midnight Wednesday or something else?
Wonder why they have a deal for the PS4 Camera, but not the Kinect (Is it even retail yet?)
I still would like to see the sell numbers of the PS4 Camera
Yeah, thats certainly what it looks like

I don't think confident is the reason, more like not enough supply.

Great bundles. Wish I had the money for one.
Anyway, I expect the LBP3 & Lego bundle to do a whole lot better than people think. I've seen that LBP3 commercial at least 15 times in the last couple of days on various channels. It's the most Sony has advertised a specific game since maybe inFamous. And, I wish LBP3 was the physical copy instead. Don't care for Lego.
Edit: If MS sells more console in November and December, it won't be by much. People are really underestimating the PS4's popularity.
