While this is to take with a grain of salt (I mean the source :)).

I do not think it would be surprising to have both console very close in term of pre-orders at this point of time. Microsoft PR fiasco is behind and they did a lot of to fix that.

again you are talking about sony fans, geez.

 

and no, it would be surprising, because Sony is launching in 32 countries while MS is launching in just 13. meaning realistically sony has much more consoles ready for launch than MS. and since the PS4 is sold out most places it wouldnt make sense to say MS has the same number of pre-orders since MS have less consoles for launch. 

 

as carl said, im calling bullshit as well.

I'm talking about Sony fans, deal with it, geez...

On the OP, I need to clarify my point; you are right, 32 countries vs 13 is going to make a difference. I was talking mainly about North America and part of the Europe (esp. UK) where people believe (correct me if I'm wrong) Microsoft is going to sell way less console than Sony.

People believe Sony will match or slightly exceed MS in consoles sales in US/UK.

Selling "way less" in regions where the 360 was very dominant is crazy. I havent seen a single person on this site say anything like that.

If that was to happen, it will be a big win for Sony. In the same way that the 360 was a big win for MS even though the console is in "third place".
