CNET- XBONE has higher pre-order numbers than the 360

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57594504-75/xbox-one-scores-high-number-of-preorders/

Anyone else a little surprised by this given all the negative feedback? Looks like it will be hard finding the PS4 and XBONE til the 2nd quarter of next year. Nintendo really needed Mario Kart or Smash Brothers this year. They are gonna get rolled.

No

Hopefully, Microsoft gets a 25% marketshare in the US. Things are looking bad for the xbox ONE. :cry:

No

If you only here what's said in SW it may surprise ya but the street is another thing and it's gonna sell well. I'm happy I ordered the speciall edition Xbox One Day One right off XBL since I'm getting the feeling they'l be harder to come by than 360's when it was launched and heck, now I'm thinking perhaps I'll order another and sell it on ebay for profit. :o :P

So, the fact that the XB1 has higher pre-order numbers than it's predicessor 5 months before the console goes on sale somehow is indicative of "looking bad for the Xb1"?

LOL.

That's because hardly anyone would have ordered a 360 after the failure of the original Xbox. PS4 will outsell Xbox One comfortably.BigBoss255

LOL.

The 360 had very, VERY low pre-order numbers because people were waiting for the PS3. Nelson's stats ain't saying much.

I'm surprised... I thought the rabid gaming community was damn-near trying to boycott the Xbox. I have one preordered, though, so the news is in alignment with my own experiences.donalbane

Microsoft really needs to hurry up and get the Subscription based models out and the deal with the major cable companies out. That will put the XBONE in really good shape, at least in the States to get control of the next gen market.

Thinking about it the Xbox brand wasn't very popular back in 2005, so no, not surprised in that sense.

Surprised because Xbone looks like a piece of shit but slowly Microsoft has been fixing that problem.

PS4 sold more pre-orders in 1 day than Xbone 180 sold in a month.

LOL. Most average consumers aren't going to shell out $500 on a console just to have cable on a home gaming console.

Plus cable's already dying out, nor is it a game changer. Most people are now viewing shows through Apple TV's, Roku TV's, Netflix, Hulu Plus, smartphones, & tablets, etc.

EDIT: And no, cable is not "dying" and it never will.

no because pre orders wasnt a big thing around that time....a lot of us had to get in line and it was first come first serve

this means little, the xbox brand is pretty much irrelevent back in 2005
