Oh well, doesn't really say anything because pretty much every console has been the 'fastest pre-order' somewhere sometime. It's good advertisement I guess.


all?

you sure about that?

it does mean something when it is an established and trusted, large retailer.  unless you want to downplay and the fact isnt convenient.


i think what he's trying to say is after the wiiU it's hard to care/trust about these statements.

we are all quite sure ps4 and xbone will have a good week 1.   good pre-orders performance doesn't seem to necessarily extend past that first week based on recent history.

your first link is about the Wii... lol

your second is vague.

This is a retailer telling us their own order book.

oops, my bad.  there are no shortage of links though..
