Microsoft News | Xbox One Day One Edition Sold Out On Amazon.com
But in the latest sales rankings, the PS4 standard edition is way higher than the XB1 standard edition.
Well I think the comparison will be harder this time around, cos the two devices are quite different now, as opposed to last gen when they were more comparable. Xbox probably loses some audience from one spectrum due to price but gains from another due to the extra features etc.
It's actually quite interesting now cos we have three totally different kind of consoles, rather than just Nintendo and then PS and Xbox that are almost the same but different names and looks Should be something for everyone.
Major Nelson has said that the Xbox One is trending ahead of the Xbox 360 for pre-orders.
On Amazon, PS4 is #2 and XB1 is #50.
That doesn't mean it couldn't be trending ahead of X360 preorders. Those positions do not indicate devices sold, just amount sold in relation to other devices.
That said, in finnish webstores the situation is quite 50-50, on some websites the X1 has been preordered more than the PS4, in some webstores the PS4 is selling better. It seems to be largely about the prices, as the webstore where X1 is leading the X1 is around 50€ more expensive. The webstores where PS4 is leading the difference is around 80€. Regardless both seem to sell pretty well here.
I would have to agree. The PS4 has more units available too. Also, the the Xbox 1 should be getting more pre-orders than the 360. I can't imagine too many people will pre-order a 360. You can pick them up everywhere, and there is plenty of second hand stock. In my opinion, Sony could have taken even more gamers, if they had just been bright enough to have two controller options. The one they have, plus one with the offset thumbsticks, like the Xbox. For me, the PS4 is great, but the controller is the Achilles heel. The PS4 includes a headset too, but the Xbox one is sold separately. This Christmas parents will flock to the PS4 due to the price. For ?400 you will be able to get the system and game, and be good to go. The Xbox will require either ?500 or more.
