Being in the second place on most pre-order lists is being "demolished?" :?

It'd be demolished if it wasn't showing anywhere in the top 5, but for now, it's only lagging behind. Also, Internet polls are worthless, they're not an accurate indication of anything.

Yea it's getting demolished. Especially when you notice that the top positions are filled with PS4 accessories and games. Accessories and games are a good indication of just how well the PS4 is beating the XB1. If the accessories and games are charting it means that PS4 is beating the XB1 my a huge margin to be at the top spot. :P People need accessories and games to play the console after all.

Yeah, considering the bad press and all, with the polls too, for MS to be doing that well gotta encourage MS to get their message out better and discuss if a tweak or two of a policy will help. When you lose polls 80-20 or worse and still remain second on per-orders you're doing alright at multiple sites around the world when those same polls should have you no where near the top twenty speaks volumes.. They gotta do better, but those posts clearly show the Xbox One has a strong audience despite the bad press. And press can turn on a dime any day:) Thanks TC, from a future Xbox One owner.

No, X1 is getting hate in the real world too and real bad. I've been at 3 Game Stops in my area and they are talking badly about it too. I've heard Xfans that I know from buying games there a lot saying things to me like "MS shot themselves in the foot with X1" and "I dont' think X1 is good for gaming" and "I'm going with PS4 this time. I can at least rent and know I can buy and trade used games with no problems". I haven't heard anyone saying good things about X1, except for on here, where it's diehard xfans.

The common folk don't pre order. Which is 90+% of the world.

Yep. And a lot of my Xbox Live friends are saying the exact thing. They will not buy the next console. And these are online friends dating back to 2003.

Everyone knows both Sony and MS will ship an X amount of consoles for launch. And everyone who isn't tied to a specific company (fanboy) knows that they'll both sell out on launch day/week.

Sony focus on hardcore gamers that is willing to buy the system right away during launch..Preorder mean a lot because it gives Sony a big huge start over the xbone.. The average consumer will not know anything about what the xbone will require but im sure all the negativity around it will spread through word of mouth from true gamers..Im telling everybody all the restriction that comes with the xbone and now their going with PS4..Imagine a kid who got an xbone for xmas but cant play it cuz of crappy internet or they dont have it..They going to trade it in for the PS4 if they can get a hold one since its basically all the pre order sold out everywhere..

Sony is said to be shipping significantly more units though...so Xflop will be in the hole worldwide right off the bat.

Micro$haft has tens of thousands of employees and they are encouraged to get their consoles day one, hence the flurry of pre-orders. Not to hard to understand, really.

I get that but pre orders are still a good indicator. The kind of people that don't pre order or follow the specifics of everything are the exact same people influenced by press, price, reviews, and word of mouth. They are likely to go with the with the most highly anticipated and cheaper option. Look at COD

@Guy

That really doesn't make any sense. There may be a handful of exceptions, but for the most part, higher pre order numbers=higher sales after release because common folk follow the hype. Saying pre orders don't matter is just stupid.

The X1 is going to sell out because all people are going to see is a shiney, new Halo and Forza 5 to play. Heck, the X1's biggest game at E3...TitanFall isn't even a true exclusive as it is slated for release on PC and Im betting PS4 sometime in 2014. That being said, the PS4 will ultimately outsell the X1 4:1 for atleast the first year and maybe longer!

TC's examples may not be the best, but anyone that reads the news can tell you the XBone debacle has gone mainstream. The story is still getting daily attention from major publications and the views contained are overwhelmingly negative, which really shouldn't be surprising.
