Is it me or I dont get consumers. They are buying a less powerful device at a 100$ more. I am one of them because i will get the xbone eventually when cloud computing is actually a thing or when they have a pleasing exlcusive, which i believe they will. But at this moment they are less powerful and more expensive. I dont get this


If everything is about power, the Wii should have ended up last. Wealso get a free 12 month XBLG card when you buy the X1. It's really only $50 or so to most people.


The PS4 comes with a Triple A racing game and PS+ so its still 100€ difference


It isn't a full game... Neither is Killer Instinct, which is why I didn't bring it up, nor should have you with drive-club. Are we going to argue which one is better than the other now? I hope not... But if you want to, go ahead...

Not yet, in the 2013 best sellers list ps4 is 4 and XI is 70, but i bet in a month(or less) things will be different

i was checking the US.  it's a bit hard to tell via hardware (1 sku vs. 6 sku) but the really telling part was ps4 had ~the top 6 slot for next gen games.  if you look right now xbone has the top 4 slots.

certainly evidence of an upward trend immediately following their policy adjustment!  god bless the free market!!!

understandable, after the 180° turn on used games and offline play it is obvious, they showed more games and better games.

Amazing to see the difference it made.

Proof that the consumer can vote with money, even before a product releases.

The war starts here.

i don't understand why people care about amazon or any other similar pre-order sales number when its just a small portion of a product sells are from... i mean its not something like they are gonna sell a few millions from it so does all these pre-order number really do much for a product total sells?

It is not about power, I am refferring to value. More  power at cheaper price is greater value
