It was only a matter of time.

For zombie-Cod gamers (or not gamers..?) to flock onto Xbox. It's to be expected. However, this is the US pre-order chart. 360 almost has a 2:1 ratio here. The fact that the Ps4 is even competition is a testament to how different this upcoming gen will become: with the Playstation 4 on top.

I'm curious as to how these numbers were affected by the rapidly increasing difficulty to secure pre-orders. The PS4 is completely sold out on Amazon and has been for a long while now. Every Gamestop I go to stopped taking pre-orders on the PS4 ages ago as well as the X1. At this point, where can you actually still get a PS4 and where can you go to get an X1 besides Amazon? It's probably important to note that it's likely the bulk of those console pre-orders happened when the consoles still had plenty of availability. I'm willing to bet they won't go much higher than they are now until some time after launch.

Does anyone actually trust these pre-order numbers?

It depends on who it's good news for...

You know what that means? That means that the PS4 is going to wipe the floor with the other systems worldwide.

Well these are just estimates guys I'm sure the numbers could be higher or lower than what VGChartz shows.

According to these estimates, people do not really like the next gen exclusives except Killzone. Although Killzone is a FPS and this is USA.

dont know why the word estimate is thrown around here these should be taken as statements, i never knew you can gather or collect a estimate

i personally dont believe in some of these statements and looking forward to Nov. NPD i believe the HW sales and SW sales will differ from the article paralytically COD ghost
