Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One breaks pre-order records at Blockbuster UK

I hope all systems sell well. Competition is good for consumers. With that said, I hope the PS4 sells better tho! :P



Around the Network

I wonder what was their previous record? 100K?



Blockbuster still has stores?

I guess its more impressive knowing that this record is attained from having 90% of chain locations closed.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

0 mention of Xbox One online, not that I see anyway. So it really is purely retail based, with most chain locations long closed.

Blockbuster

Could this be any more ironic?

Good news for Xbox One. Would be nice to have a hard number.

Edit - How are Blockbuster actually doing right now? Would this be a risky place to preorder from?

"Pre-order launches"

Does that mean pre-orders from the day they started accepting them only?

All non-negative news is good news right now for Xbox One.

".... at Blockbuster" needs to be in the title.

Lets pretend that Blockbuster has NOT stopped being relevant 4 years ago.

Plus they were never known for stuff being purchased there never mind pre ordering. So this is no surprise at all.

Not bashing... just giving a perspective...

Yup, its free press and "any news is good news". MS has everyones attention, that is one huge hurdle they have overcome.

Now its just a matter of changing their perception :P

so far so good, but take PR-speak of retailers with a grain of salt.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
