Not shocking really, both these consoles will sellout at launch, so much for those 3-1 pre-order rumors.

Sony has been lying every day since the reveal in Feb. Why would anything change?

Sony: Mediocre Awaits 11/15/13................or when we get around to it.

In North America it probably is true but World Wide i really doubt it. If Sony stopped taking pre-orders it might be true.

Anybody who thought either one of the consoles was not going to sell out at launch this year was just fooling themselves. Console wars are not a sprint, it's a marathon. Launches are irrelevant 2-3 years down the line. Going by launches the PS3 should have been dead in the water but it caught up to the 360 and even surpassed it in most regions.

Launches don't mean squat.

No one knows for any country, including MS. They'd have to know how many Sony has and I seriously doubt they know.

“When I saw reports of Sony having a million or 1.5 million pre-orders for the PS4, I didn’t even think twice about it. We’re not disclosing pre-order numbers at the moment for accounting reasons but I know for a fact we have just as many. Don’t be bogged by published statistics. At the end of all this, what matters is the games you want to play.

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

We won't say how many but believe us we have just as much,but with no real number that can come and byte us in the ass..

MS like always lying..Oh and Reddit..lol

Launches don't mean squat.

The problem with this is simple.

1- A so call developer on reddit since when developer talk about sales of hardware.

2-MS has less units for launch than the PS4 and will release in only 13 countries.

3-EU and Japan are big sony strong holds specially Japan where the xbox one will sell nothing.

4-Even on US what is been know is that the PS4 is outselling the xbox one.

So when you take this all into account you see this is nothing more than damage controls or something false,if the xbox one was selling just as hot we all know MS would be yelling it all over the internet.

Top Lel! What is there to defend? Sony got it right. They did EVERYTHING people wanted them to do after what they got wrong with the PS3. THEN, they amass a ton of games in 2013 for both the PS3 and PS4. Meanwhile, in LemBot Landonia, you have MS top brass talking about general entertainment whilst spending hundreds of millions of dollars to secure NFL content and you have a camera shoved in every box that you are paying out the nose for.. and the system itself isn't even holding a candle to the PS3 as far as games go.

You're so backwards it's comical.

1 - pick and choose what you want to believe or not... that's what all the hardcore fanboys have been doing since the first whiff of next gen consoles.

2 - Sony is releasing only 10 consoles in Argentina at launch and they cost $1,100 US dollars... do you see where the issue here? congrats sony for releasing in another country... pfft.

3 - good luck with your launch in a few weeks in Japan Sony... do your homework Tormentos...

4 - Will be interesting to see how this comes in, given... I think it'll be closer to 50/50 than the net likes to think... but we'll see.

There's a few things to take into consideration. Ps4's preorder numbers don't represent how many consoles will be available at launch. They are limiting stores to 10 preorders. For example, I talked to the store manager at Fred Meyer, and he said the store could only accept 10 preorders but will be receiving 35-40 consoles on launch day and there was a good chance of getting one without a preorder. He said that Sony is limiting the amount of preorders stores can sell because they want PS4 to be available to the general public.

All that aside, this looks like M$ PR bullsh*t at its finest and they're just trying to make it sound like their console is as desirable as a ps4.

PR is what gets the people to jump in a lot of cases... we are the small minority that follows the behind the scene stuff.... Gotta PR to sell

Nope, Cows are worse. At least Lems stick to their story. Cows change their tune more times than a whore changes her underwear.

They probably will both be sold out at launch. Numbers are going to be whatever they can manufacture and ship in time really.

I think for now there will be enough demand to keep buying what either Sony or MS make and ship to retailers. Who does better early next gen might result on who can get them out quicker, at least for a while.

Riiiiiight, I really believe this one. I'm sure the bone numbers might be catching up slightly but I'm pretty dubious to the "fact" that they are the same as the PS4 reserves.

Being thoroughly entertained by rabid cows such as yourself hardly makes someone a lemming. For example, I couldn't care less about X1, or the 360, but I love the sight of riled up cows.... and I love adding some fuel to the fire! ;)

Sony is relying too much on good faith, it was bound to happen. They should have put more effort into their launch lineup instead of trying to win the hearts and minds of forum dwellers.

Kaz Hirai is all calling up Steve Ballmer and giving him daily updates on how many PS4s are preordered..
