This is likely across all of Europe except for the UK.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Surveys on the internet shows the PS4 is outpacing the Xbox One in pre-orders.
Yah we got that 2 months ago and in the 100 similar threads created about it.

Another one that didn't read the OP. Please read before saying something that exposes that you haven't

lol yah I have read it... But as you certainly read my reply (looks like you did not go past the first sentence), survey and/or "report" is not really my point?

My point is about having another of these thread being created for the same exact topic over the past month. (about PS4 leading pre-orders...) Just reply to one of the existing ones. Like another menber pointed out, what is the point of creating a new thread everytime you find "evidence" that PS4 is leading?

Again, this isn't a thread about a survey. The survey is an extra, and really isn't the point of the thread. If you don't like the thread and the outcome, just stay out of it. That is my recommendation.

I'm sure you'd see a point if the results were the other way around. It is news, whether you like them or not.

lol no; nothing to do with the results; PS4 is ahead and I do not care about that.

When I say Surveys or Reports; it IS exactly what you are talking about in the OP. A report from retailers and a survey on neoGAF... Not sure why you keep saying I did not read it... I guess it is more conveniant... Now, if you really believe it is not the point of your thread; that's your problem not mine; and I will not refrain myself from posting in i

News or not, we saw a lot of threads about the PS4 lead in pre-orders in the past month and I do not see the point to create a new one everytime another report/survey "re-confirm" it...

What's the point of this? All of the launch consoles are going to sell out for the first 60-90 days regardless. So, doing a survey about what ratio will buy at launch is just stupid. It is a survey of the group on the site, so obviously the PS users outnumber the Xbox users 4 to 1.


Actually, no. In the survey it's more like 6:1 WW. However, the 4:1 ratio comes from a retailer in NL. Another one saw 3:1.


Didthey release how many consoles willl be available at launch for each console?  NO.  What if Sony has 4 times as many consoles available for preorder?  Maybe they do or maybe they don't.  Pre-Orders mean bunk.  If it's like here in the states, there isn't a lot(actually zero) of XBone signage at my local Gamestops.  So, which way are presells going to look here.  I haven't been to Europe lately to check out these retailers, but who knows what they are pushing andwhat incentives their companies are receiving from either side.  THere are a lot of factors that go into early pre-orders...  I would expect a lot more pre-orders for the cheaper system.  Of course it didn't help that M$ had the worst launch ever...

Huh? They can take pre-orders pretty much forever, or until it is sold out. I think I can say with confidence that Xbox One is NOT sold out in those retailers. It's also certainly not sold out over here in another European country.

There are plenty of reasons to be found, but the outcome is the same.


Can only tell you from my time managing Best Buy stores here in the states, that we had preorder limits.  We knew how many units to preorder for launch day(we usually got more units than we pre-ordered of course).  When we hit that, we told anyone else that wanted to preorder that their unit wasn't guaranteed on any date.  As soon as "not guaranteed" came out of our mouth, the person walked away.  I don't disagree that there is an obviously higher level of interest to get the PS4 today and probably all the way to launch.  But, once both consoles sell out right away, interests will change for a lot of the non-preorder crowd to What's in stock now.  So, whoever fills the channel better will see the continued sales.

This is the nature of the beast. Each generation, the order changes. The only time I can remember a generation leap that didn't include a HUGE swing in a different direction is the PS1 to PS2.

On a side note, isn't it weird how the Xbox brand has never even sniffed dominance? They got slaughtered by the PS2 and then the Wii. They actually LOST market position falling from second to third this gen.
