I would have to ask how many consoles people would expect to pre-order from Asda, its not the normal place to order this type of thing, well certainly it wouldn't have been 6-7 years ago, so beating those historic figures shouldn't be that hard i would guess.
Of course we have had the wii-u recently, so that is a good sign for the Xbox that it is beating the wii-u which had a very good first few weeks. But we could still only be talking about a few hundred console pre-orders like the Blockbuster debacle.
Regardless of the numbers it is still getting more pre-orders than the PS4 at these two companies, so that is a positive (though we don't know the gap).
Even though there has been huge derision of the Xbox (its been talked about quite a lot if its replicated like where i work in other places of work), for it to be getting good news story just shows that the "internet" doesn't necessarily translate to the general public. But its too early to tell really.
Going to be an interesting year I feel.
