The US market is dominated by MS and the 360 current gen. If Sony were to sell one more PS4 than Microsoft’s X1 it will have to be considered a success for Sony and the PS4.
Thanks for the update
Dat PS4 even in USA. Killzone is shining. Can't wait to see the next weeks !!
1.The fact that the PS4 is still leading in the USA, Xbox central, is good news for Sony.
2.Who actually pre-orders launch consoles?
3.Ryse = 82,888. I don't even feel sorry for those people. It's actually quite funny.
It seems like it is finally the time for Killzone franchise to shine brightly.
Need to fix pre order for Knack : It has now 56k : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=170558&page=1
Sony sure has M$ now. It was great watching the PS3 take over 360 and watch xbox in last place for the generation but taking back Xbox's prized possession is music to my ears.
Since E3 PS3 has been becoming more and more popular in the US & world wide sales of it have increased quite a lot each week.
Less than a month away
Are pre-orders all for week 1, or are some pre-orders not going to be delivered / available until later (including into 2014)? I know anyone pre-ordering a PS4 here as of several weeks ago is going to be waiting until at least January 2014 to be able to pick it up. So it must be the same in the USA. If it's not a day one pre-order then it's not necessarily able to count in the week 1 sales tally. So I seriously doubt PS4 will have 1 million sales in USA alone in week 1. Neither will Xb one for the same reason.
Do xbone customers hate games? The difference in game preorders is shocking compared to the hardware.
Killzone the most popular exclusive for next gen systems so far.
not sure how you come to this conclusion because the percentual difference between the pre-orders in the top 10 isn't bigger as the percentual difference between the console pre-orders.
725k vs. 525k. consoles and like 1.6m vs. 1.2m game pre-orders.
maybe only 1.1m, didn't use a calculator.
XBOX One users will be going all digital like the rest of humanity. That won't show up on preorders.
I'm kind of surprised BF4 preorders are that much higher on PS4 over Xbone after clearly EA took some kind of compensation to make it times exclusive on the One, especially with COD being so high on it as well.
Funny thing how people are whining and killing each other over their Ryse, Forza, killler instinct, infamous, driveclub, knack, etc. and those games aren't even selling that well. Killzone is kicking ass though.
God Numbers!! Xbox One must be work more. Is the best option but Ps4 and his price the reason for the numbers. But i dont understand because in MS Store and other Shops is sold out Xone (principally Europe)
In the rest of the world the difference in pre orders between the 2 consoles is even bigger (way bigger)...
MS really f'd up their Xbox image even more with their X1 Reveal. Such a shame.
Over 1 million for the PS4? The console war is over!
XB1 a shooter console and Battlefield 4 for PS4 has a staggering 120,000 more pre-orders. That is a stunning revelation. Call of Duty: Ghosts pre-orders for XB1 30,000 ahead of Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4. Multi-platform games have the bigger pre-orders and are bigger than the second tier exclusive launch games for both PS4 and XBox One.
The better game for the better console. BF4 for PS4.
The only reason why Kill zone is doign well on the ps4 is because sony has no other First party exclusive to get at launch and even i would choose Killzone over knack. MS just has variety of exclusives hence gamers have moe to choose from :)
add up Knack and Killzone then add up Forza (one of MS's big 3), Dead Rising, and Ryse. You have the true results.
LOL Whatever. All Xbox has is Ryse. Titanfall & Project spark are on PC. Titanfall looks like current gen IMO and I'm stoked to play Project Spark. Crimson Dragon looked ok but that's really it. Dead Rising doesn't mean much to me.
Killzone, Infamous, Knack, The Order, Drive Club, Gran Turismo (when it comes), Naughty Dog (when it comes), the free exclusive content in AAA multi plats (not just pay to play timed DLC like xbox) Destiny, Watchdogs & Assassins Creed.
Then 1 free PS4 game a month with PS+ and free PS3/PS Vita games.
:L you cant even preorder a ps4, xbox one still out for preorder
Xbox One won't bomb in the US market like people hoped, but I think PS4 could actually outsell the one USA, which means overall PS4 should do a lot better Worldwide. Still Ms has the Call of Duty Crowd....
Where's Killer instinct? Apparently no one cares.
It's a f2p download only game.
the game you can't pre-order? no clue where it is :-)
the game you can't pre-order? no clue where it is :-)
Killer Instinct is only available digitally...
KI is Digital Only, so you will not see it in this chart because M$ dond't have pre-order digital (or it have?)
Is this correct? Call of Duty 2,5 mln preorders on PS4 and only 0,33 mln on XBO?
Where is Halo "xbox one" (Halo 5)?
Why is this downvoted? If MS didn't reverse all their controversial decisions, it would not have gained ground. More competition leads to better games.
Competition is great but M$ stepped on their customers toes hard and have lost a lot of market share by it. I personally don't know anyone getting an xbox one at launch. All the xbox friends I fought with all this generation are all getting PS4 at launch (some may get xbox later on - but some only buy 1 console so it's already game over).
M$ should not have been so rude. #JUSTDEALWITHIT & We have a console that is not always connected and that is the 360. They had this attitude for over a month at reveal and all the way through E3 and lost tons of fans.
I'm glad xbox is still around for competition but I'm very happy to see them put in their place. A product sales should reflect their quality, product, features & customer service.
