it can be real close. I remember Gamestop reported that over 2 million customers are still waiting to pre order ps4

That sounds really hard to believe...I mean 2 million waiting to pre-order from 1 retailer just sounds ridiculous. Or is this some market research they did to gauge the demand for the PS4? If so, then it basically just means that there's 2 million die-hards waiting on the PS4...which isn't really THAT impressive, there's probs 2m Xbox fans who've yet to buy an Xbone too

Here are the sources:

"it's not immediately clear if GameStop is arriving at the 2.3 million backorder number via actual orders or just prospective sales in general." - Sounds to me like its the latter. @Frequency, indubitably.
