sorry but this means NOTHING.unless they tell us the "numbers" then we can tell how far ahead or behind, they are from sony's ps4.this is just an desperate move to get some attation,n make people hyped up or excited when they are not really that excited about it.

Microsoft have spent soo much on exclusive content for x1, the increased pre orders (which is still lower than ps4 judging by amazon best sellers) still have a long way for microsoft to reclaim their investment back.


EA: Peggle 2, PvZ:GW, Titanfall, Fifa in every pre order and Fifa UT Gold, battlefield timed exclusive
Capcom: Bought Dead rising 3 publishing rights
Ubisoft: Content only for division announced, Fighter within?
Activision: Continuing timed exclusive dlc for cod
Paying insomniac for exclusive rights to Sunset overdrive? Or funding it?
The cost of the cloud


They're likely spending billions. Probably why you're paying $100 extra?

Good, this should reduce the ratio from 3-1 to 2-1.


Or even much less since it wasn't even 2:1 anymore! 


Got any link to back that up? Since you were complaining about a user writing facts without backing them up I would expect you to provide a source .

The article above says it'll be the biggest xbox launch ever... More "facts" than who he originally quoted surely...

At 5 consoles it would still be out-pacing the Vita.

So Xbox One is doomed like the Vita?

What does that have to do with the ratio being less than 2:1? That still doesn't mean it isn't higher than 2:1.

This is the real news...

"Microsoft has sold out of our pre-order supply faster than at any other time in our history and we are on path to have the biggest launch of an Xbox ever"

The 360 did not a have a big launch, neither did the PS3. 

It shows the X1 is having a good start inspite of its high price tag.
