Remember how Sony boasted about having excellent pre-order numbers for the PlayStation 4, boasting roughly 1 million pre-orders before launch? Till now, we haven’t learnt too much about how the pre-order numbers for the Xbox One are looking…until an Xbox One developer talked about the same recently on Reddit.

As per this reply, the dev stated, “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.

P.S. I have no idea if this is true not, Just reporting the news. Honestly I don't care if it is. @ChrisDorner I will be waiting on that 1 star. lol

Actually very good!

Not surprising as PS4 was forced to stop taking preorders due to their issues of producing enough consoles while M$ backed with their money been running strong.

great, now let's wait for at least 1 major retailer to cosign that statement

If that was the case, MS PR would be screaming it.

at an Xbox One DEVELOPER on reddit. Not even Major Nelson?? Come on now.

How can a retailer co-sign? They cant report on other retailers sales?

How would a single retailer be able to back Microsofts total preorders?

where would they get this info ?

Let this be a neogaf post and that would be a enough cosign for most of y'all

Why would he lie? MS is not in Sony position. Sony needed to make announcements so shareholders like yourself would be encouraged.

if xbox 1 made such a huge surge in pre-orders, bestbuy, amazon, targets, walmart, gamestop, etc would notice the spike as well. basically, he needs more people. this is the same company that said it would be impossible to change the architecture of xb1 -- only to change everything about it a few weeks later.

Because he's a dev. He doesn't have that kind of access to those numbers.

And MS isn't the kind of company that wouldn't gladly state that shyt if it were true. And you know this.

Esp when every other article says otherwise.

Reddit dev...

Wow you are dumb are you? They haven't change the arch of the X1. X1 pre-orders have been open for longer peroids of time just like @O RLY stated. Plus we have no idea how many pre-ordered thru the 360 dashboard etc.

But the people buying the games of that developer are buying the consoles for those games. That's how he's making his estimate.

Every other article uses the same vg charts as a source. Anybody who pay attention know how wrong there are, just when Ms announced 80 milli 360 shipped.

bruh, stop lying. they went up there in front of the people and said xbox 1 needed the kinect 100% to function, they said it HAD to be online for check-ins. you marketing weirdos know they said this shyt cus y'all were defending it straight up until they switched their policies.

believing a xbox dev would know more about xbox preorders over the retail outlets that sell their shyt
