Dont take the first to know numbers as a reflection of pre orders. Looks quite a bit different 

Is it too much to ask if one console sells 2:1 versus the other at least???

I rather to know the preorders numbers

Its possible. X1 is gaining significant momentum but my god did they damage their brand for the last few months.

Theyve gained back serious ground but they were litteraly being CRUSHED earlier. It will be interesting to see final numbers this holiday. It will be closer than many anticipate.

Thanks for the answer, very much apreciated.

I actually look forward to spring time when the holidays are over and the consoles are out for everyone to judge. I do believe PS4 will have quite a lead initially but I think X1 in the long run has a wider appeal to both gamers and more casual audiences. Aslong as both systems sell out at launch I am happy :).

What the hell is ''first-to-know''

just gamestops email list to keep people updated on the news. After sonys press event I got an email updating me a launch date has been confirmed

If ps4 just sells more than x1 it's a success, but if ps4 sell double than x1, for me is still a crushing result....

I agree for US.
