Amazing. Perhaps M$'s prediction of this gen growing leaps and bounds above the last are coming true.

or maybe it will peter out..

gamecube, wiiU, and vita had some of the best launch day  sales of any system yet things quickly turned sour just weeks after release.  don't get me wrong, i'm excited for these pre-order numbers but i am also very wary of them.  true success will need sustained sales not just a huge launch.

Quite. The only trend this indicates is the growth in gamers who are more involved and more willing to put money down ahead of time. If Nintendo had put out a GameCube successor for 7th gen, the totals would have been roughly stagnant.
