Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox One Dev: ‘We Have Just As Many Pre-order Numbers As PS4, Details Snapping Feature

If ps4 is really at 1.5m (without japan) then expect over 2mil in November alone. And some people said both x1 and ps4 will have less than 2mil in 2013. Lol how wrong they were



Around the Network

The first question which comes always to my mind if some "dev" posts on reddit, is there any proof that he is really an dev on Xbox One? Because the snap feature is something I could also tell you since i saw the "Xbox, snap Machinima" video and the stuff about the pre-orders could be only out of his ass.

Reminds me little bit of this "Xbox engineer" who posted on Reddit and how awesome he found the family sharing which was only a 30 minutes demo. All I can think off is that this was a guy who doesn't like Xbox One and tried to let it sound horrible. But to sound believable he had to write a wall of text.

If it is already proven that this guy here is really a dev, forget what I said in my first paragraph.



no doubt they have 1mil+ pre-orders.
But I doubt they have that many as the ps4 have.

for example, the unveil vid on ytb of the xb1 has 6.446.585 views and the ps4 vid has 30.485.208 views.

If the guy here is really a dev then it brings you to your next question. A. How does he have preorder numbers of either system. Especially sonys

While this is to take with a grain of salt (I mean the source :)).

I do not think it would be surprising to have both console very close in term of pre-orders at this point of time. Microsoft PR fiasco is behind and they did a lot of to fix that.

again you are talking about sony fans, geez.

 

and no, it would be surprising, because Sony is launching in 32 countries while MS is launching in just 13. meaning realistically sony has much more consoles ready for launch than MS. and since the PS4 is sold out most places it wouldnt make sense to say MS has the same number of pre-orders since MS have less consoles for launch. 

 

as carl said, im calling bullshit as well.

I'm talking about Sony fans, deal with it, geez...

On the OP, I need to clarify my point; you are right, 32 countries vs 13 is going to make a difference. I was talking mainly about North America and part of the Europe (esp. UK) where people believe (correct me if I'm wrong) Microsoft is going to sell way less console than Sony.

People believe Sony will match or slightly exceed MS in consoles sales in US/UK.

Selling "way less" in regions where the 360 was very dominant is crazy. I havent seen a single person on this site say anything like that.

If that was to happen, it will be a big win for Sony. In the same way that the 360 was a big win for MS even though the console is in "third place".

Well, would be maybe an internal estimate of Microsoft using some informations of companies like Gamestop but really, there is no way for me that this guy is serious. I mean, even if XB1 would have the same number of pre-orders in the countries you can pre-order it (which I already highly doubt), there are all the markets you can only pre-order a PS4 which alone should push the PS4 above XB1. Countries like Japan, some European countries and so on...

I doubt that this guy knows what he is talking about. Even if he is a dev he is probably a small fish who dreams to much and doesn't really know much He could at least reveal something like the snap feature information days before Machinima and not a few days later if he would know what's going on.



Sounds like bull. I doubt a dev would have accurate information about sales numbers of hardware. I'll wait for the official numbers from MS thanks.



Many are suggesting its 2:1 for Sony, that sounds small but equates to a massive difference in terms of units sold.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Anonymous bull lol.

The only place MS have close preorders as PS3 was US... even so MS have less slots than Sony for preorder.

And you have I don't know... over 40 countries vs 13.



Someone upping this thread in December.
