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.

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

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.

So you are saying that the pre orders are only wrong or under tracked for games. But the 350,000 Xbox one pre orders should be fine????
