Actually, those preorders, if we use Amazon as an indication, came in months where roughly 70-75% fewer consoles are sold.

Yea but we have to keep in mind that when a new console is up for pre order it does well regardless of the month and the 1X was the most pre ordered Xbox console ever.

Yes, but that was in a month where console sales are relatively low; it's about a 3.5/4:1 ratio for console sales, for Nov./Dec. vs. other months. That falls in line with BF usually accounting for about 50% of console sales. The peak for X1 preorders was #3 in August, which would traditionally be about 1/6 the amount of consoles sold at #3 in November.
