He actually misread your post lol. You're talking about different versions (you about PS3 and he about PS4)

Why can't they be close to current gen CoD? You expect 50,000 preorders for each system? A lot of people are getting a next gen system. The people getting these systems at launch so happen to like CoD. You act like only 80.000 people will be moving to next gen.

Actually, the PS4 hit 1 million preorders worldwide back in August according to Sony, so first week sales of 2 million+ wouldn't be that suprising. As for the Xbox One, I believe it's at around 900,000 preorders right now, so I wouldn't be suprised if it hits 1.5 million in it's first week, assuming there is enough supply in stores to handle the demand. I think this generation is going to have more early adopters than previous generations, as this past gen has been one of the longest in console history (8 years compared to the generation average of 5.5 years), something a considerable number of gamers didn't like.

Early adopters of new consoles are usually core gamers, the type of gamers that love popular genres like FPS, so high numbers for CoD: Ghosts, BF4, and Killzone: SF really aren't that suprising. I've been checking Amazon's hourly and year to date best seller charts almost everyday for a few months now, VGchartz preorder data backs up what I'm seeing on Amazon.
