But that means nothing. How many are there? 100? 100,000? We just don't know.


Do you think Gamestop would halt preorders of the PS4 if the preorders were at 100,000?


for just gamestop?  yeah, maybe.  WW they'll sell more but there are a lot of other regions and retailers to fullfill too.

The Wii U had half a million preorders at Gamestop...

 

Then again, look how that turned out. PS4 doomed confirmed...


Did gamestop cap the Wii U preorders?


I believe 500k was their launch allocation, and it was supposedly almost completely preordered. So they did hit a cap.

Yeah, I am guessing the PS4 was similar. Sony told them to keep their supply unlimited though.

Exactly. We can't take a lot from this figure, sadly.

I also meant to say 1000000 not 100000 in the above post. Having said that, I'd say around 100-150k preorders is about right 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Wii U has no games so far which is a must from First part and also no third party support, whereas PS4 has strong third party support, First party development(with 30+ in development, 20 will be released in first year according to yoshida) and so many indie titles already announced even though the console hasn't near to release.  Also PS4 has better hardware and cheap price which is just 50$ more than WiiU.

How do you expect PS4 to be doomed? be sensible plz



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.
