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"

Which tells us exactly nothing at all since we have no idea what "pre-order supply" means in numbers..

I would presume if its the biggest Xbox launch, the Xbox One launch supply is bigger than past Xbox launches.

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...

 

ok then...

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.

You reckon it's going to beat Kinect as the fastest selling devices ever!!!!!!!

lol yah, another fail attempt to pathetic  flamebait... Seriously, this is becoming ridiculous now :)

Good for MS, that  + one week earlier = very good news!

A good trade considering ps4 will be first in NA market, let see which one would benefit the most.

Yah I think this is a good thread too. With Microsoft's PR flop it will be very interresting to see how things will shape up in NA!

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.


What? How do you know that? Where's your source?

 

 

Lol... This could go on for ages. No one has an article or link to back them up. This conversation is pointless. I never said he was wrong or right. I was just wondering why you quoted the reply and not the original comment.

Which part of "..on path to have.." don't you understand?

Because the first was just a troll but nightsurge had just gone off on someone for posting something without a source. It doesn't really bother me what the ratio is but some of his posts are extremely hostile. I'm done dragging this thread off topic anyway.

I dont think they tripled total number of preorders in a couple weeks. Only way that would be possible is if the numbers are uncomprehensibly terrible which would make this unimpressive. Also, it probly is a week over week increase. Which is good but still unimpressive. I wouldnt doubt Sony recieved similar or better increase due to launch announcement and MS will recieve another similar boost this week with that too

Apples and oranges. Kinect is a peripheral.

But its you want a simple answer, no.
