PS4 pre-orders massively out-stripping Xbox One, Amazon chart suggests.

PlayStation 4 is Amazon UK's fourth best-selling gaming product of 2013, according to the site's official best-sellers list, with Xbox One limping in at no. 70.

The console has also re-overtaken Xbox One in Amazon's hourly best-sellers list, after Xbox One saw a brief surge in sales following this week's DRM changes.

Official pre-order numbers for either console have yet to be revealed, but it's believed by many that Microsoft altered its DRM policies after the product struggled to attract reservations.

 

Pretty impressive considering it's only been available to pre-order for a couple weeks. By the end of the year, PS4 will be #1.

That and the fact they'll both sell out by launch make this thread useless. Weeks before launch they'll be a lot more pre-orders.

There is no reasone to get it outside of the US because all of the good features are only availale in the US. From what I'm hering right now, the numbers are very high, especially for the PS4.

That and PS4 has been available for pre order in the UK and other European countries since it was announced back in February.

The Xbone was up for preorder first. The PS4's preorders started after E3.

Well, you are correct that in EU the Xbox was available to preorder first.  However, the following day of MS's reveal, the PS4 went up for preorder, not after E3.

@ OP

All Amazon talk should go in here.

The Xbox One costs $100 more and it was only recently that the DRM was removed..

The majority of UK consumers won’t know about the PS4, deal with it.
