Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

We will see when the archive gets update after this week showing the E3 results... I'm curious to see that.



Why do European nations allow pre-orders so early before release?

Pre-orders for the PS4 and Xbox One weren't open until late, late Monday night for Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy in the US.

1. PS4
2. last of us
3. xbox1


The last of us is at number one right now. IF YOU HAVE A PS3, buy THE LAST OF US right now! Is the best game I ever played in my life with the BEST MULTIPLAYER I have seen in a longe time.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Xbox One has been available for pre-order long than the PS4. So there's that. PS4 has been consistantly ahead ever since E3 and the price point was announced. I don't expect that to change. Let's see how that list looks a few months, even weeks from now.

It's also worth noting that UK market is pretty small. Take a look at the weekly charts. Now imagine how small of a market an online retailer like Amazon holds. The difference between 69th and 91st position might seem big but in reality its not.

Alright, the "so far in 2013" figures have been updated for both the US and UK.

UK has the PS4 at 7th and the XBO at 70th:

US has the PS4 at 2nd and the XBO at 8th:

Now that Amazon.uk site was updated with the number of the last week (the week after E3).

PS4: 7th
Xbone: 70th

Like I said the preorder sales after E3 will be interesting... PS4 just outsell in 2013 the Xbone by a great margin.



We seriously need to stop linking Amazon rankings, they are not nearly as important as some are suggesting. Loads more people will be buying consoles at places like Walmart and Best Buy, and we are still 4 months out til launch.

eh, Im sure it won't be by that much.  They will both be supply constrained until after the holidays.  so 2013 sells will just depend on whoever has the bigger supply...
