Went to Gamestop today to preorder Pokemon X/Y and while I was there I struck up a conversation with the guy working there about the PS4/Xbone preorders. He said that the Xbone so far has 15 preorders, and they are all out of allotments which they aren't expecting anymore for the next few weeks. The PS4 has 20 preorders with 5 more left and they are expecting more allotments for the PS4 within the next couple of days.

Went to my local Gamestop today at the mall and the manager told me they had a 3:1 ratio in preorders in favor of PS4. Pretty crazy.

That's also just preorders of launch consoles, sales that aren't even guaranteed. And that's just first shipment, right after e3, so it's probably mostly enthusiast preorders. I'm just saying there's a lot of factors here. Different audiences that will buy at different stages in the console's lifecycle. It's way too early to call anything.

I'm really interested in how this will turn out for Sony (sales and especially profit).

What rubin said and the other the initial couple of millions dont really matter.
And im sure that microsoft can sell 3~4 million on with marketing alone.
But they will feel it when its ps2 era sales numbers all over again.
And i think if they keep those policies it will happen from what i heard US ISP charges extremely much for laughable speeds. US is not ready for such a device no wonder google is rolling out its own network.
WTF $60 for a 10MB/s and clippy B was trolling EU.
For that money you can get 15 times as fast internet here in most developed EU countries and probably have digital television and unlimited calling to home or mobile number in some countries. Microsoft should focus on EU instead of US and fuck off with mandatory kinect.

They're called PS4 and X-Box One because Sony is outselling them "4" to "one". Ehhh? Ehh?

Yeah, 14 of the top 20 spots in videogames are PS4 related, 3 are Xbone related.

Really interesting to see BF4 bundles leading COD bundles on that Gamestop list. I bet EA is eyeing that very closely as well.

Guerilla Games look like they will do very well out of the PS4 launch, as it seems Killzone: SF is the most popular exclusive. There will be full servers on the game's mp which is great!
Watchdogs has strong interest too looking at the pre-order lists.

That's because at the moment really only the "hardcores" are preordering. The mainstream isn't and BF3 was also more popular in internet-forums, but sales were still much better for CoD.
This is also why noone can say if the ps4-sales will be stronger in usa/uk, even if the preorders are better today.

I'm very excited about the launch of PS4 for one reason; Killzone will finally get the love and attention it always deserved.
IMO, Killzone is the only Launch exclusive that makes you go WOW, and is easily the Resistance 1 of the PS4.
This will sound messed up, but I'm glad inFamous got delayed. PS4's early adopters will be "forced", in a sense, to pick up Killzone as it really is the only shining exclusive launch gem.

Yeah, it's great a lot of people will get to experience the game, very likely their first in the series. And everything so far to me indicates this will have a superior SP campaign to the others in the series.
Can't wait to get on those Killzone servers again too. People are in for a treat.

Make the thread.
Yeah, or PM one of us to make the thread for you if you would prefer.
PM me and I'll do it.
I have SOME numbers, yes. I only know what I have access to - I'll PM someone and they can make the thread so I'm not quite as obvious.

Everyone wants to know the numbers!
As others have said, PM one of us and we'll make a thread, it should be insightful

Is the thread up?
SilentFlyer

Yeah make a new thread. That would be great. Please who ever makes a thread leave a link here, just in case.
Not yet - I've PMed Chubigans with the numbers etc and I've left the decision up to him whether to post in this thread or make a new one.
Before people get super excited it's only ONE region of a UK retailer - but it's the only information I have access too. Still - it's pretty interesting stuff.
Thanks . Hype for the numbers

Awesome. One retailer would probably be a good indication of what's happening with others, so it is great to know.
Thanks.

The mainstream are not going to buy a $500 machine en masse. The reason for why the 360 became such a success and ate into Sony's historic dominance was because the latter not only launched at a significantly higher price, but because it launched late as well.
The vast majority of early adopters will be the enthusiasts, or 'core', demographic and brand loyalty from the PS2 era didn't mean a great lot in the US when the previous gen began, so I see no reason why we cant see yet another reversal this time in Sony's favour

He's a good one to PM, rather impartial in this console war and guaranteed not to cook the numbers one way or the other.
My thread would have been better
"PS4 WINNING IN UK, XBOX FAIL, PREORDERS AND SHIT"
"look at these motherfucking numbers, fuck you micrisoft. no bias."
What if xbone had more... How would it be then.
Not much chance of that
It'd be equally as stupid.

Can I get a PM please? I just wanna see the numbers now assuming bbq makes the thread later

Just give someone the numbers or let's see them here. I'm sure someone will gladly make a thread.
It explains both the price point and why they are unconcerned about selling in only 21 countries. Regardless they still shouldn't be region locking the hardware because what's the point if someone has the cash to import it from somewhere else. They are highly likely to know they need broadband and would have it.
bbq has the numbers now, hopefully a thread is forthcoming.
