People must really be threatened by sales numbers to be rushing in here and playing it down.
Will sales numbers make your console more enjoyable?
Will X1 having the same or better sales than PS4 make the games any less good?
You guys are taking this stuff way too seriously.
The only thing you should worry about are the quality of games on the console you want to buy.
Hey tis great for MS. Its not going to make my PC games or Wii U games any less quality. |
While I agree that sales have little to no effect on enjoying a console (unless it's a huge gap and one console has a hard time getting 3rd party support because of it). There is very little reason to believe this is true. Not only is it unlikely that a dev would know how many preorders the Xbox One has there is no way he knows how many Sony has. We have no evidence to suggest that what he is saying is true, and a good chunk of evidence to support him being wrong.
It's not really a huge deal, but it's certainly worth pointing out that this is probably false.

Why is it highly unlikely? Sony said a million+ seems to me we don't have evidence either way. Both are sold out at retailers but most are believing Sony because why exactly?

So you're saying that we should put the same level of trust in some anonymous guy on reddit that we put in the President and Group CEO of SCEI when it comes to preorder numbers? Wow.
There's one big reason we know this is BS. MS HASN'T announced it. You know, the company that always loves to boast about their preorder numbers, as well as when games/systems reach significant milestones. Right now, MS could do with ALL the positive PR they can get after the whole DRM debacle. Pumping their chests about having preorders on par with Sony would be the exact thing they would want to do and would do. Not to mention the fact that ALL the signs we have available point to the exact opposite being true.
Things are definitely going to get rough for this guy when 1st week sales are announced.
