PS4 is winning! These numbers are US only... Imagine what PS4 will do to Xbox in Japan and Europe!

Total PS4 software pre orders = 1,216,365
Total XBO software pre orders = 811,295.
PS4 above XBO by 405,070 or 50%.

Total top 5 PS4 software pre orders = 987,717.
Total top 5 XBO software pre orders = 590,382.
PS4 above XBO top 5 software pre orders by 397,335, or 67%.

PS4 hardware preorders increased 700% since E3.
XBO hardware preorders increased 677% since E3.

Since the XBO 180, the gap between PS4 and XBO hardware preorder increased 4% in PS4 favor.

This is USA only, Sony cant ask for more than that.

Wait, where has the previous pre-order article gone? That had PS4 games like BF4, Ghosts, Watch Dogs at around 150k.

trunkswd Underworld (on 28 August 2013)

There was a glitch in the pre-order system that was fixed earlier today. Regular sales figures were fine.

Michael-5 Underworld (on 28 August 2013)

If these numbers are accurate, miscrosoft should be scared.

Bristow9091 (on 28 August 2013)

These numbers are VERY impressive... and this is just in the US

I Want Watch Dogs and Killzone: Shadow Fall!!!

Michael-5 (on 28 August 2013)

Well made. It's interesting to see that exclusivewise, Killzone has more hype then the top 3 One exclusives combined. However outside of Killzone, PS4 isn't offering much that's hyped.

Going to be a crazy November, I think PS4 and One will start off with a bang, last gen was too long, and PS4/One prices are fairly reasonable.

Rombie.com is still taking preorders for the PS4 and Xbox One, seems to be sold out everywere else. Preordered mine through them. They are shipping on release to!

I wish I could trust any VCG pre-order numbers... they are even more of a blind guess than the weekly numbers.

Somehow I doubt Titanfall is that low.

Somini Barozi (on 28 August 2013)

Why not? It's not a launch game you know.

small44 Barozi (on 28 August 2013)

The game not look bad but it don't look like a hit.

Destiny and Titanfall pre-orders will likely boom after the holidays. I think most people are just focused on the launch games right now. People aren;t buying a new console now, to wait for a game for 6-12 months.
