Yeah, that's a bit surprising.
Impressive numbers for KZ, but note that COD & BF4 are also on the PS360 (where they will sell more) |
The ratio only increased if you are using VGC PRE-E3 data. Considering that the mass pre-orders and hate on the internet was directly following E3, with rumors of the whole 4:1 ratio in favor of PS4, I think the ratio has actually decreased a ton since the Xbox One policy changes. To be honest, with how inaccurate the VGC pre-orders have been lately (constant large adjustments, directly going against released data in some cases), I wouldn't be surprised if the US numbers were actually closer to 450-500k vs 600k. If MS can keep pre-orders open until launch, I'm sure they will be pretty much tied. At this point it is purely a supply thing for launch pre-orders. Whoever ships more, will sell more.
Right out the gate, the available numbers were like 40-50 PS4 vs 10 Xbox One's per store, but since then both MS and Sony have allocated a ton more units. Of which, both have sold out of day one/launch editions and most places can either no longer guarantee launch day delivery of standard editions or are quickly approaching that. I think Walmart is the last place I know of that you can still pre-order in store, in the US and that's because they just started taking pre-orders of both PS4 and Xbox One on 8/24.
