Amazon had some good offerings on Black Friday a few days ago, but they're gearing up for round two of game sales for Cyber Monday. Starting at 3AM EST December 2nd, they're cracking off new sales of recent games including some next-gen titles, which were left off most Black Friday sales lists.

Here's what they're offering:

Madden NFL 25 - PS3, Xbox 360 FIFA 14 - PS3, Xbox 360 Battlefield 4 - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 NCAA Football 14 - PS3, Xbox 360 Need for Speed Rivals - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Ghosts - PC, PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One Grand Theft Auto 5 - PS3, Xbox 360 Ryse: Son of Rome - Xbox One Forza Motorsport 5 - Xbox One Dead Rising 3- Xbox One Saints Row 4 - PS3, Xbox 360 Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix - PS3 Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - PS3 Elder Scrolls Anthology - PC

You can check out all the titles here, and most will be on sale from anywhere between $10 and $30 off.

It's interesting that Microsoft has allowed nearly their entire stable of exclusives to go on sale while there isn't a PS4 game in sight, exclusive or otherwise. Sony must believe everyone is willing to pay full price to stock their PS4 with games, which is probably true. Not to mention bundled units like the Killzone PS4 are big sellers, and they wouldn't want to undercut that. Granted there are a whole host of PS3 games on here so it's not like Sony is being completely overlooked, but it does make a statement that Xbox One's three biggest exclusives plus Call of Duty are all present and accounted for.

I'm less surprised that PS4 games are missing than I am that Xbox One games are on sale already, barely more than a week after the console's release. I'm not expecting deep discounts, but even $10 off a new, sought-after game like Dead Rising 3 is going to move more than a few extra copies. Critics will cry that it's a 'desperation' movie by Microsoft while fans will say it's a smart play, but without software sales numbers, we won't know for sure.

It's still unclear who will be crowned winner this holiday season when it comes to worldwide console sales. I have a hunch with how well both systems have sold to date, it's going to be whoever can provide the most supply. And that may just be Microsoft, as despite the Xbox One's pre-launch controversies, they've been flying off shelves at around the same pace as Sony's PS4 from what we know so far.
