Forums - Gaming - PS4 Has More Preorders Than X1 "By Long Shot 150:30(in his store)" says GameStop Manager

bananaking21 on 08 November 2013

Just few days time period is left for the launch of Playstation 4 and Xbox One, both Sony and Microsoft are leaving no stone unturned to make it a massive success. 

Neither Sony nor Microsoft have revealed pre-order figures for both consoles, however a GameStop Store manager via a recent AMA on Reddit provided details regarding which among PS4 and Xbox One has more pre-orders.

This GameStop store manager was "How many PS4 perorders have you received at your store in total?", to which he replied:

"I think my store hit ~150 vs ~30 XBone"

Reddit user "kilogttam" added: "It's a lot more than I expected but I keep seeing people reporting ~3x as many PS4 preorders as Xbox One."

To this GameStop Manager replied: "Yupp, the only store I saw with more XBone pre orders than PS4 was a mall store, had like 110 PS4 and 115 Xbone. Otherwise on average, there are a decent amount more PS4 pre orders."

Later on Reddit user "silverstax" asked him: "Which system has more preorders?"

GameStop Manager replied: "PS4 by a long shot, ~150 to ~30, 

Silverstax went on to have more clarification and so asked: "At just your store, or is that the averse age ratio for many GameStop stores?

To this GameStop Manager replied: "That is for my store. On avg there have been more PS4's than XB One pre orders. some stores may have more Xb's than PS4's but from what I saw not by much."

So guys if details revealed by this GameStop Manager is anything to go by, PS4 pre-orders are way ahead of Xbox One.

Personally i think the only way this is possible is if that sony just has a lot more stock ready than the xbox one.

Can't be true because our resident "insider" said no console will annihilate the other.

1. There is no bomba here. Anyone suggesting either PS4 or X1 will be a flop at launch and that their preferred console will annihilate the other is in for a rude awakening. The PS4 / X1 launch will be the biggest the industry has ever seen.

i just copy pasted the article and tittle, then edited in (in his store) part so that the people who only read the OP dont go around saying PS4 has 5x times the pre-orders of the xbox one at gamestop in usa.

Even 1:1 will be a treat for Sony in the US considering the market share this generation. A year later will be interesting.

You don't think the $100 difference is the biggest reason?  The PS3 at $499-$599 was high priced but it was still supported by its fanbase.  Not as much as the 360, but it was never too far off and it's always been the higher priced console.  I think there are a lot of people out there where price matters over brand and then there are those that might keep the PS4 as their multiconsole system with it being more powerful, us knowing what we know now. 

With how good of a job Microsoft did at brainwashing people into thinking Xbox Live is better just because they're paying to use online, something that's no small number, these people are sure to stay loyal to Microsoft and will get an Xbox One before the PS4 and may never get a PS4.  So the Xbox One definitely won't lack in any sales, it's just going to be second place to the Playstation I think.
