LOL exactly. Don't get me wrong, its nice to see the industry get some momentum with a new launch, but the quote is FILLED with so much PR talk it's not even funny. 2500 per minute is nothing if it was for 12 minutes lol.
As for the bold below, think aboutt that. They are saying the pre orders for the new consoles were better than pre-orders for the already released consoles last year. Unless that's a typo, thats a rediculous statement. Of course they were better. Let's hope so!
Finally, the last sentence after the bold is vague. Per orders for systems? Better than system sales for Black friday last year? That would be SLIGHTLY impressive, but still, it's a new launch... or course. New launch pre-orders > 7+ year old Black Friday performance. Everyone calm the hell down.
"Last week, the Amazon Video Games store made history with its biggest pre-order week ever thanks to the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In fact, at the peak of demand last week, Amazon customers were pre-ordering more than 2,500 Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles per minute. In addition: · The E3 week pre-orders of the two wildly-anticipated gaming consoles brought a year-over-year increase in orders of more than 4,000%, compared to consoles ordered during E3 week last year · Day-one pre-orders for the two consoles was nearly two times that of all video games sales on Black Friday last year (2012)"
